About

What is Open Science Office Hours (OSOH)?

The goal of OSOH is to empower students and researchers to make their work more open. We do this by sharing and curating open-science resources, facilitating discussion, and offering individual assistance.

OSOH is supported by the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute (TOSI) and The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital).

Monthly Themes and Events

A different Open Science theme is chosen every month. Through this mechanism we hope to make OSOH participants and followers discover new facets of Open Science that they might not have encountered before. Every month we welcome an expert on that theme, available for Office Hours timeslots throughout the month.

Office Hours

Many trainees and researchers learn about Open Science skills at short events like conferences, summer schools and hackathons, but they may not have continuous in-lab support for using what they have learned in their everyday research. OSOH provides Office Hours whereby anyone can receive one-on-one, personalized support to integrate Open Science practices in their work.

Curated Resources

It can be difficult to make sense of the ever expanding amount of Open Science guides, documentations and tools, and find what fits your needs when browsing online. Our Resources page contains hand-picked resources to learn about and implement Open Science practices, specifically oriented towards neuroscientists. These resources are hand-picked by our team, categorized and searchable through several filters for you to rapidly find the information you need based on your area of research or what Open Science practices you need help with.
