Adopting Open Source Software FAIR Practices

Allegra Via, IBPM-CNR, ItalyAllegra Via is a scientific researcher at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Pathology (IBPM) of the National Research Council (CNR, Rome, IT). She has a Master Degree in Physics and a PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology, and more than 15-year experience in protein structural bioinformatics, protein structure and function prediction and analysis, and protein interactions. Since 2014, she is the ELIXIR-IT Training coordinator and the lead of the ELIXIR-EXCELERATE Train the Trainer subtask and the ELIXIR-Carpentries working group. As such, she is involved in the design, organisation and delivery of bioinformatics training courses, in Train the Trainer activities, and collaborates with other ELIXIR’s nodes on many training-related initiatives. She has a long track record of both training and academic teaching. Currently, her research interests have shifted into cognitive psychology and how this discipline can explain and facilitate learning processes, support curriculum development and help in the assessment of learning. She is a member of the Global Organisation of Bioinformatics Learning, Education and Training (GOBLET) and a Software/Data Carpentry Instructor and Instructor Trainer.Mateusz Kuzak, Dutch Techcenter for Life Sciences, The NetherlandsMateusz Kuzak is a Scientific Community Manager at the Dutch Techcentre for Life Sciences (DTL), where he works at the interface of training, technology and data platforms and the research community in the Netherlands. Mateusz is also deputy Training Coordinator for ELIXIR-Netherlands. Before joining DTL, Mateusz was building research software at the Netherlands eScience Center in collaborative projects with domain scientists. At the Center, Mateusz also helped to develop the training program around essential computing skills offered to project partners. Before becoming a Research Software Engineer, he worked in the field of Biophysics spending lots of time with microscopes. Mateusz is also involved in the Carpentries community as an instructor, trainer, mentor and Executive Council member.

<P>The “ELIXIR Training Platform” is partnering with The Carpentries (Software and Data Carpentry) to train life science researchers in computing and data management skills. The “ELIXIR Software development best practices” group, which is part of the ELIXIR Tools Platform, has proposed “Four simple recommendations to encourage best practices in research software” aiming to help researchers and developers to adopt Open Source Software (OSS) practices and thus improve the quality and sustainability of research software. In order to encourage researchers and developers to adopt the four recommendations (4OSS) and build FAIR software, we developed specific training materials, taking advantage of the Carpentries approach and experience in training material development and maintenance.<BR>The goal of this tutorial is twofold: promote the adoption of the 4OSS recommendations and introduce the participants to the training materials developed to teach researchers and developers how to implement OSS practices in their research software.</P>
