Teaching Open Science: Slide set Supports Lecturers
How can knowledge about Open Science be disseminated more widely and how can lecturers be supported in bringing it into higher education? The ZBW recently launched a new introductory slide set in the Open Economics Guide for reuse. It is designed to impart knowledge about Open Science to early career researchers in business studies and economics, but can also be adapted for other purposes.

To make it easier for early career researchers to acquire the knowledge they need to practise Open Science, the ZBW’s Open Economics Guide now offers a freely available, English-language introductory slide set as an Open Educational Resource (OER). It has been specially developed to support lecturers in business studies and economics in teaching the potential and practice of Open Science in a simple and accessible way, for example as part of doctoral programmes.
The slides include a compact and understandable introduction to key concepts, benefits and practical implementation options of Open Science – ideal for use in doctoral programmes.
Open Science for young researchers
The slides contain the following aspects for a compact introduction:
- What Open Science means and why it is relevant
- What is meant by Open Access, Open Data and Open Code
- How researchers can benefit specifically from Open Practices
- How to take the first steps towards Open Science with ease
The presentation is designed to take approximately 90 minutes, but can be flexibly adapted or divided into smaller units. The content of the slides is closely orientated to the content of the Open Economics Guide. Links are included in the slides for a more in-depth discussion of individual topics. Additional information for lecturers can be found in the slide notes.
Reuse and adaptation welcome
The slide set is CC-BY-licensed, is available in PPTX, ODP and PDF formats and can be adapted and reused as required for different purposes. In this way, it should help to provide new impetus for Open Science and prepare the next generation of researchers for transparent and future-orientated practice!
The slide set addresses the needs arising from a community dialogue. The ZBW endeavours to continuously develop it further and keep it up to date. Feedback, experience reports and suggestions for additions are therefore welcome!
