Patricia Herterich (University of Birmingham) on behalf of The Turing Way Collaboration and University of Birmingham Library Services

Proposed (working) title:
The TuringWay - supporting reproducibility and Open Science from a librarian's perspective
Brief outline of session:
Professional services in research institutions such as librarians provide various services and guidance to support Open Science. This session will introduce "The Turing Way" project, a 7 month project led by the Alan Turing Institute to bring together research software engineers and research data librarians in order to write a handbook to support students, their supervisors, funders and journal editors in ensuring that reproducible data science is “too easy not to do”. The talk will be starting point for a discussion how librarians in your institutions might already support Open Science and what you would want them to provide to make your Open Science Working Group more successful.
Type (e.g., workshop, talk, discussion group)
Talk followed by discussion
Preferred session duration
30 minutes (trying to keep talking short, otherwise we might need 1 h just to accommodate a proper discussion)
