The students of this course are required to have a basic knowledge of: - General understanding of digital information in the research and innovation processes - Research cycle and research outputs (publications, data, software, etc.) - General knowledge about the current Scientific communication system and academic and scientific publishers¿ strategies. - Basics about Open Access to publications. - Bibliometrics and scientometric: methodologies and indicators.

- Describe the concepts and objectives of Open Science - Determine the appropriate route to take when publishing Open Access papers/articles and other materials and be capable to understand and negotiate with scientific publishers. - Set up an Open Science sharing strategy (papers and data) to increase institutional research visibility. - Select the right tools to implement collaborative and open science (tools to create repositories, data management plans, scientific reproducibility/replicability and improve the transparency and visibility of researchers). - Identify the benefits of a Virtual Research Environment for sharing and using research data. - Analyse and discuss the benefits and barriers of particular Open Science cases (including different countries and disciplines).

The course lasts for 14 weeks and it is distributed in 7 Didactical Units, lessons or modules. The 7 lessons are: Lesson 1: Introduction to OpenScience 1.1.

THEORETICAL-PRACTICAL CLASSES. They will present the knowledge that students must acquire. They will receive the class notes and will have basic reference texts to facilitate the monitoring of the classes and the development of subsequent work. Exercises, practical problems will be solved by the student and workshops will be held to acquire the necessary skills. For subjects of 6 ECTS, 42 hours will be dedicated as a general rule with 100% attendance. TUTORIALS. Individualized assistance (individual tutorials) or in groups (collective tutorials) to students by the teacher. For subjects of 6 credits, 4 hours will be dedicated with 100% attendance. INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP WORK BY THE STUDENT. For subjects of 6 credits, 78 hours will be dedicated 0% face-to-face, but online tutorials. THEORY CLASS. Presentations in class by the teacher with the support of computer and audiovisual media, in which the main concepts of the subject are developed and the materials and bibliography are provided to complement the learning of the students. PRACTICES. Resolution of practical cases, etc. raised by the teacher individually or in groups. TUTORIALS. Individualized assistance (individual tutorials) or in groups (collective tutorials) to students by the teacher.
