Research data have the potential to be reused in many ways. Above all, proper archiving and publishing is crucial for this, which will enable prosperous future users to make the best use of the data. Replicability, reproducibility, falsificability, and other related issues are becoming increasingly important topics in the social sciences, and so the research practices are gradually changing. A crucial element of that change is research transparency. 

In the the online workshop, organized by 2 European Data Archives GESIS and ADP, speakers will present some key elements for research transparency that help implement open data access policies. In the second part, they will talk about more in-depth the processes, policies and tools implemented for facilitating transparent research in the social sciences.

The workshop will take place on November 11, 2021, starting at 1:30 p.m. You can sign up at this link.
