Building an Open Scholarship Knowledge Base Together

The goal of the Open Scholarship Knowledge Base (OSKB) is to broadly collate and disseminate the excellent content developed by the open scholarship community, helping colleagues adopt and keep up to date with open practices. Hosted by the Center for Open Science, the OSKB is an openly accessible, community-driven resource that sustained by contributions from fellow scholars. We continuously add new material and ideas, and work with the larger open research community to keep track with best practices as they evolve. By building a living resource, the OSKB aims to reduce knowledge gaps and increase the speed with which transparent research practices are adopted in the field. We work together as a community to gather and share knowledge about the what, why, and how of open scholarship. We collect, review, consolidate, and organize content to support the education and application of open scholarship practices for all aspects of the research lifecycle. All content is available through our OER Commons portal via https://www.oercommons.org/hubs/oskb. In the spirit of openness, we welcome a diversity of ideas, tools, and methods, as well as researchers from a multitude of fields and backgrounds. We work to add content to the OSKB and review its accessibility to users, thus extending and improving the knowledge base together. Our aim is to collect further resources from educators who teach and practice open scholarship and user feedback from educators seeking further teaching material . Members of the OSKB Development Team will demonstrate the functionality of the OSKB and provide an overview of the collections and user groups available through the OSKB and existing resources in the knowledge base. We warmly invite all colleagues, regardless of expertise or previous involvement with the OSKB, to contribute questions and resources, identify missing topics, and collect feedback. By pooling all our knowledge, we hope to make transparent scholarly practices more accessible for everyone. https://formr.thedoomlab.com/OSKB-demo
