A new guide on open science especially for beginning researchers

What should I pay attention to when it comes to open science? How do I set up my research openly and transparently? Where can I publish?

A collaboration of several Dutch research organisations has published a guide on open science. The guide answers some frequently asked questions that (young) researchers have when getting started with open science.

Early-stage researchers are an important link in the transition to open science. Therefore, this guide is particularly intended for Research Master students, PhD students, and beginning researchers from all disciplines at Dutch universities and research institutes. It is written so that researchers are given tools to work with at each stage of their research (preparation; data collection and analysis; writing and publishing; and impact and assessment). Each chapter provides tools and practices to implement immediately.

Of course, the handbook is available to everyone, you can download it via this link.
