Change of contact person for Open Science support at FSS

From September 1, 2022, local Open Science support is newly provided by Mgr. Aneta Pilátová from the FSS Central Library, e-mail: openscience@fss.muni.cz.

Mgr. Marika Hruba, who has provided support so far, can be contacted as the Open Science coordinator for MU at the Institute of Computer Technology, Cybersecurity and Data Management Division, e-mail: hruba@ics.muni.cz.

The FSS Library offers Open Science support to researchers in the following areas:

• Advice on the selection of a journal with regard to Open Access fulfillment options (Green OA - unpaid, Gold OA - paid, more info here), communication with the publisher, prevention of predatory journals and conferences.
• Ensuring compliance with the OA Green condition by saving and setting the appropriate parameters of the file in the MU Repository (Creative Commons license, time embargo setting for publication).
• Advice on choosing a suitable repository for storing research data, taking into account its nature (field, type and size of data).
• Support for Data Management Plan (DMP). Its implementation is always the domain of the scientist, due to the domain knowledge. We will provide scientists with tips for DMP management tools, sample DMP plans, or we provide technical support.
• One-on-one Open Science consultations for scientists.
