OSIP Award

Anja Kräplin

Franziska Korb and Alexander Strobel will present the Open Science Award at the next meeting of the Faculty Council.

There are two learnings from this year's award:

• The call for applications should be published earlier because the funds must be settled by the end of the year.
• Prize funds may only be awarded internally to TUD members. This means that if someone leaves TUD in the meantime, the money cannot be paid out.

Discussion: ExPra - Application for the DGPs Sponsorship Award for Quality Assurance in Psychology

Those present discuss whether we should apply for the prize with our ExPra. There is a summary of our replication experiences in recent years. It is discussed whether the publication of our experiences with unsuccessful replications unnecessarily discredits the original studies. A counter argument is made that the studies are not primarily selected on the basis of content, but on their feasibility. The methodological limitations will be made transparent (students take care of programming, online implementation of laboratory experiments, special sample, special setting). Those present decide that we will apply for the prize. Christoph Scheffel will primarily write the application. The application deadline is 31.1.

Social Media Presence

Gundula Thiele, Franziska Korb

Community members who leave Twitter/X often move to Mastodon or Bluesky, but activity there is extremely low. Instagram seems to be the most suitable platform, also in combination with Threads. The TUC's OS Initiative, D2:C2 and the Center for Open Science, among others, are already represented there. There must be clear responsibilities for maintaining the account. Social media will be included as a permanent agenda topic at OSIP meetings.

Miscellaneous

• Only a few members are able to attend the OSIP meeting on February 21. Those present agree that this date should be used primarily for planning the OSIP retreat.
• There will be no meeting in March. The date in April is still to be agreed.
• Consultation Hour: Josephine and Christoph will continue to offer it, even if no one comes by. At the beginning of the summer semester, there will be more advertising, as more theses are to be written then. More attention should also be paid to doctoral students in particular. Dealing with the consultation hour should be a topic at the OSIP retreat.

The next OSIP meeting is sheduled for February 21 at 2:30 pm. This meeting will primarily be used to plan the OSIP retreat. The link to will be sent out via the mailing list about one week before the meeting.
