Authorship in academia often decides who is hired, funded or celebrated. Current authorship order methods like randomised or alphabet author lists are not equitable.

An illustration of how authorship ordering methods differ in focus using a
hypothetical example of contributions to a research study from a multi-authorship team (a).
Integrating the Academic Wheel of Privilege (AWoP) in authorship order decisions into the
CRediT framework (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) is more equitable than contributorship
focused methods like alphabetisation (b) or randomisation (c). The AWoP considers both
contributions of authors and redresses imbalances of academic privilege (d). e) shows what a
solely equity-focused authorship order would look like, where authors are positioned with
increasing privilege along the author list based on AWoP scores shown in (a).

POSTEdu Launch Events - Register to participate
Last year FORRT received a grant from the Dutch Research Council (NWO) to develop a pedagogically-informed, evidence-based, self-guided program for supporting the teaching of Open Science. Our goal is to develop three modules for educators interested in teaching Open Science through a positive, participatory, and inclusive lens.
To kickstart the project (POSTEdu), we are holding two online launch events (18th June and 25th June) where we aim to talk to educators to identify the challenges and opportunities they face when incorporating Open Science into teaching and mentoring, and to get their input and opinion on how best to develop these modules. Your participation and input is greatly appreciated!

Want to know more about the 'Replications and Reversals' project? We've summarised the project below:

Replications of previous scientific work are at the core of the Open Scholarship movement. However, as replication studies become more widespread, it can be challenging to keep up to date with which effects replicate and which do not.

FORRT’s Replications and Reversals project aims to collate the latest replications in social sciences, and any reversals, which refers to effects that have their original direction flipped. This resource aims to be a “living”, freely available, crowd-sourced, and community-driven collection of effects that have either not been replicated or even reversed through empirical research across social sciences.

Interested in helping out? The project invites scholars from varied backgrounds and across social sciences to contribute on the effects in their fields. Please see the Replications and Reversals webpage on FORRT for more information

On October 27th, FORRT received an invitation to present its various projects aimed at advancing Open Science education during the official launch event of the Netherlands Reproducibility Network (NLRN).
During the event, FORRT hosted a workshop to discuss how NLRN and FORRT could join forces towards a better future for Open Science Education. The day was full of exciting plans and we hope to see many of them realised in the near future!
Please see the Netherlands Reproducibility Network (NLRN) website for further information about the organisation.

On October 25th, ReplicationWiki organised a webinar and Q&A session featuring FORRT Team Replications & Reversals, where Helena Hartmann, Flavio Azevedo, and Bethan Iley delivered presentations on the project. See here for a recording of the video. Keep an eye on FORRT's YouTube channel where we will post the Q&A recording in the future.

FORRT Team Pedagogies just released a new Pedagogies with The Collaborative Replication and Education Project (CREP). We talked to Prof. Dr. Jordan Wagge, who shared with us her experience with CREP in conducting replications with students.

This Pedagogies feels extra special because it also includes the perspectives of two students on learning about Open Scholarship with CREP.

Check out the full interview with Prof. Dr. Jordan Wagge and her students Jasmine Beltran and Amy Hernandez along with links to all of CREP's open resources and materials here.

If you have suggestions of scholars and educators who are doing an outstanding work in integrating Open Scholarship into their teaching and mentoring, please nominate them for a future FORRT's Pedagogies here.

Lots of great answers from these FORRT leads on their open science inspirations, & shout outs to @chrisdc77.bsky.social, Dorothy Bishop & @drcpennington.bsky.social! See below for full answers! Thanks to: @helenahartmann.bsky.social, @kellylloyd.bsky.social, Andrea Kis, Meng Liu & Maddie Pownall!

Question: What or whom motivated you to join the open science community in the first place?

Answer from Helena Hartmann, Team lead for ‘Replications and Reversals': Getting up every day and knowing I can make science a tiny bit better by contributing to it with my own work.

Answer from Kelly Lloyd, Team lead for Outreach: Reading Chris Chambers' book 'The Seven Deadly Sins of Psychology' is what originally motivated me to understand and apply open research practices to my work.

Answer from Andrea Kis, Co-team lead for Neurodiversity: I have been raised with a belief in the value of open, free, and widely accessible knowledge. My career experiences - both outside of research as well as my academic journey - strengthened this belief.

Answer from Meng Liu, Team lead for Landscape: I first came to learn about OS via Twitter and Dorothy [Bishop] is one of the most active leaders of OS on it so naturally I followed her and learned a lot from her.

Question: What or whom motivated you to join the open science community in the first place?

Answer from Madeleine Pownall, Team lead for ‘Impact on Students’ and ‘Lesson Plans’: Dr Charlotte Pennington! Her journey to open science was very similar to mine; we both did our PhDs (years apart) on stereotype threat and noticed that this phenomenon was not replicating in contemporary research, despite a seemingly strong effect in its early days.

After a PhD filled with null results, I started to question the credibility and validity of a lot of the studies that I was basing my research on and open science provided a useful framework or language to have this conversation.
