Konferencia otvorenej vedy prináša najnovšie informácie z rôznych oblasti otvorenej vedy, medzi ktoré patrí napríklad otvorený prístup k výskumným informáciám, manažment výskumných dát, hodnotenie vedeckej činnosti či občianska veda.
Informácie sú určené vedeckej a akademickej obci, akademickým knižniciam, ale aj študentom a verejnosti.
Konferencia sa koná v anglickom jazyku a prezentujúcimi sú prevažne zahraniční odborníci z oblasti otvorenej vedy.
The conference brings the latest information in different areas of open science, including open access to research data, research data management, research assessment and citizen science.
The information is aimed at the scientific and academic community, academic libraries, as well as students and the public.
The conference is held in English, and the presenters are mostly international experts in the field of open science.,
The Second Slovak Open Science Forum is being held under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, Research, Development and Youth of the Slovak Republic.

PROGRAMME
9:30 -10:00 Registration
10:00 – 10:10 Welcome
10:10 – 10:35 Johan Rooryck (cOAlition S, BE) – cOAlition S: the road ahead
In this presentation, we will discuss the current activities and future plans of cOAlition S in moving to a scholarly communication system that enables rapid, open, transparent, and equitable sharing of trustworthy scientific knowledge.
10:35 – 11:05 Laetitia Bracco (l’Université de Lorraine, FR) – French Open Science Monitoring
Since 2018, France has a National Open Science Plan meant to impulse and develop the opening of all scientific outputs: publications, data, software, clinical trials… Since 2019, the French Open Science Monitor (FOSM) tries to capture the efficiency of this public policy through different indicators. This paper will present the latest version of the FOSM, which focuses on research data and software.
11:05 – 11:35 Sándor Soós (Hungarian Academy of Sciences, HU) – Bibliometrics as a key to Open Access Publishing – but not the way you think of it
Open science and open access publishing has brought about a great deal of optimism regarding a new paradigm of bibliometrics. The majority of expectations have been directed towards new metrics based on the open access publishing culture, which have been hoped to enhance the validity of research assessment. This presentation will illustrate a number of instances, based on current research, where the utilisation of bibliometric methodology helps to dispel myths or, at the very least, to elucidate common misperceptions surrounding OA publishing. One typical example is the relationship between OA and the notion of ‚questionable journals‘, which has its roots in the perceptions of the research community facing the growing complexities of the publication industry.
11:35 – 11:50 Coffee Break
11:50 – 12:30 Matej Antol (MUNI, EOSC CZ) – Towards the Development of the Czech Data Infrastructure for FAIR Research Data
EOSC CZ is a Czech national initiative dedicated to advancing best practices in research data management across scientific communities. In the core of the initiative is the development of the National Data Infrastructure (NDI) – a platform for managing, sharing, and accessing FAIR research data. Together with the national e-infrastructure e-INFRA CZ, it creates a comprehensive environment that fosters responsible science and enhances the competitiveness of Czech research in the digital age.
12:30 – 13:00 Rita Pinhasi (KEMÖ consortium, AT) – Open access publishing in Austria
The Austrian Academic Library Consortium (KEMÖ) has been actively pursuing and concluding OA publishing agreements since 2014, with the current portfolio covering an extensive range of publishers. This presentation will give an overview of the various business models we have experience with, for example, offsetting, read and publish and “Subscribe to Open” (S2O) deals, as well as lessons learned. We will also briefly look at the Consortium’s approach to sharing costs in a world of transition and the implications of the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) introducing direct block grant funding for OA.
13:00 – 14:00 Lunch
14:00 – 14:30 Maria Kadlec Markova (SpringerNature, CZ) – Accelerating open science with tools not rules
Although researchers are increasingly opening up their papers, peer reviews, data, protocols, code and other research outputs, progress towards a world in which scientific knowledge is as open as it can be, has been slow. In this talk, I’ll look at some of the key milestones on the long road to open science and I’ll describe how tools rather than rules are helping researchers improve the transparency, reproducibility, and integrity of their research.
14:30 – 15:00 Lucia Glajšeková, Alica Kubeková (Faculty of Natural Sciences of Comenius University, SK) – The use of citizen science in the monitoring of animal species
MEET OUR SPEAKERS
Johan Rooryck is Executive Director of cOAlition S since 2019, and co-PI with Pierre Mounier of the DIAMAS project. Since 2016, he is co-editor-in-chief of the Diamond Open Access journal Glossa: a journal of general linguistics, a journal that transitioned to Diamond Open Access when its Editorial Team and Board, as well as its reader and author community, decided to abandon the Elsevier-owned journal Lingua to found Diamond OA Glossa. He is a member of the Academia Europaea, a doctor honoris causa of UiT – The Arctic University of Norway, and a visiting professor at Leiden University, where he held the chair of French linguistics from 1993 to 2020.
Laetitia Bracco is a library curator in the Research Support Mission of the Université de Lorraine libraries. She is in charge of the „ADOC Lorraine“ data workshop, the support service for research data, as well as the Bibliometrics unit. At the national level, she leads the research data working group of the Couperin consortium. She is also project leader for the French Open Science Monitor on research data and software code. At the international level, she co-coordinates the Open Science Monitoring Initiative (OSMI).
