# Welcome to the Open Science Education in Bioscience Repository ## Register your interest https://forms.office.com/e/tknKVhCpW6 ## Mission Our mission is to collect, share, and promote openly accessible educational resources on open science practices specifically tailored for bioscience education. This includes papers, projects, presentations, and teaching materials designed to enhance understanding, adoption, and implementation of open science principles in bioscience. ## What You'll Find Here ### Research Papers: Peer-reviewed and preprint research focused on open science teaching methods, assessments, and case studies in bioscience education. ### Teaching Materials: Lesson plans, syllabi, toolkits, and instructional resources to integrate open science into bioscience classrooms and laboratories. ### Projects & Case Studies: Documented projects demonstrating the application and impact of open science practices in bioscience education contexts. ### Presentations & Webinars: Slides, video recordings, and related materials from conferences, workshops, and webinars on open science education topics. ### Zenodo Community We also have a Zenodo community for broader research and pedagogy in Bioscience here: https://zenodo.org/communities/uea-bio-teaching/ ## Why Open Science in Bioscience? Open science enhances transparency, reproducibility, and collaboration, crucial elements for advancing bioscience education and research. By promoting open educational resources (OER), we aim to: - Accelerate innovation and knowledge dissemination. - Increase educational equity by providing free, quality resources. - Foster collaborative networks among educators, researchers, and students. ## How to Contribute We welcome contributions from educators, researchers, and students passionate about open science education in bioscience: - Submit New Resources: Share your own papers, projects, or teaching materials. - Suggest Existing Resources: Recommend valuable resources to include. We compile a helpful list of existing resources [here](https://osf.io/74x2e/wiki/External%20Contributions/) - Feedback & Collaboration: Engage with us to improve the repository and collaborate on future open science education initiatives. ## Licensing & Use Materials in this repository are openly licensed, typically under Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY), ensuring free use, adaptation, and sharing with proper credit.
