EOAR SEMINAR, MARCH 2022

Managing Open Science as a Knowledge Commons: Open Source Bioinformatics and Citizen Science

Dr James Scheibner (College of Business, Government and Law, Flinders University)

In this presentation, I will be exploring how open science projects share the characteristics of a  knowledge commons. I will then be addressing the factors which underpin the success or failures  of these projects. To illustrate this, I will be drawing on two areas of open science. The first will  involve drawing upon my PhD research into the idea of open source bioinformatics software as a  knowledge commons. The second will involve drawing on my research into citizen science projects  and Internet of Things devices.

When: Wednesday, 23rd March 2022, 12-1 PM (ACDT)

Where: Online. Please RSVP to openstemcells@adelaide.edu.au
