Join UT Libraries and UT Open Source Program Office in the PCL Scholars Lab on Tuesday, May 13, from 10 am-2 pm for an in-depth discussion of open scholarship.

This talk will discuss how contributing to a major open source project is one of the best ways to gain this experience. It will highlight the experience of contributing to and eventually becoming a core contributor to the ggplot2 project, and will outline simple steps and best practices to follow for anybody who is new to the world of open source software development and would like to make a contribution.

Join us for a virtual informational session about federal funding agency policy changes going into effect in 2025 that may impact your research. We will cover the expanded sharing requirements for publications and data resulting from federally funded research, describe where researchers can find more information, and highlight the resources that are available at UT Austin to assist with compliance. We will discuss the commonalities and differences among individual research funding agency plans, and we’ll be able to answer questions you have about specific funders.
