(Open Science Learning) GATE SERVICE


Welcome to the GATE Service - your perspective counts!

Open Science relies on effective and responsible knowledge sharing across education, research, and policy. As research practices, requirements, and technologies evolve, the Open Science community benefits from shared, practice-based insights into how Open Science is communicated and supported in real-world contexts.That’s why we want to know: What are the Open Science guiding thoughts and practices you emphasise in your work?

By contributing your perspective and expertise to the GATE Service, you help generate evidence-based insights into the guiding thoughts and practices shaping Open Science today. This supports shared understanding and capacity building across the research ecosystem.

About the GATE Service

The GATE Service is a key part of the Open Science Learning GATE initiative. Through a short, reflective questionnaire, we collect structured information on which Open Science guiding thoughts and practices knowledge creators address in their materials and outputs.
The resulting insights are aggregated and shared back with the community in a structured and targeted way through notifications and the annual GATE Report.

Within the GATE Service, participants reflect on their own existing materials or outputs as a basis for answering the questionnaire. These may include:

  1. Educational and training materials (e.g. courses, trainings, learning sessions)
  2. Research outputs (e.g. research papers, preprints, articles)
  3. Policy-oriented resources (e.g. policy briefs, statements, recommendations, guidelines, reports)
  4. Communication materials (e.g. leaflets, posters)

 


Who Can Participate?

The GATE Service is open to all Open Science knowledge creators who intentionally develop such materials or content to inform, educate, or guide others’ Open Science practice.
This includes, for example, educators and trainers, researchers and authors, policymakers and funders, speakers, and content developers.

Why participate?

The GATE Service is more than a questionnaire, it’s a real service. By participating, you:

  • receive guidance on updating or optimising your materials for high-quality and long-term use (via the GATE Report)
  • receive recognition as a contributor in the GATE Report
  • enhance the visibility of your materials via the GATE website and/or the GATE Report
  • gain access to the GATE mailing list and an Open Science community of practice

The GATE Service is non-evaluative and does not involve scoring, ranking, or certification.

➡ Share your Open Sciende practice - complete the questionnaire 

Please complete the questionnaire step-by-step, review the guiding thoughts1 proposed by the community and self-reflect on your material/content2.

[1Guiding thoughts refer to foundational concepts (actions, processes, values etc.) serving as a framework for reliable Open Science practice. They are communicated to learners/followers/readers/listeners via your educational material/content supporting your audience's understanding of Open Science practice.]

[2Educational material is all material that has been intentionally developed to teach/educate/train/inform a specific target group. This also includes articles, reports, leaflets/posters, as well as courses, and learning sessions.]


For further questions and support, please contact the GATE providers: Anika Müller-Karabil (anika.gate@miller.international) or Marie Alavi (marie.gate@miller.international)
 

➡ Please read and accept the data policy in order to start the GATE process. It is estimated to take 15 minutes.

  • name and email address,
  • country of identification (= country with which you identify)
  • discipline or research field,
  • ORCID iD.

Please note that providing your personal data is not part of a statutory or contractual requirement or obligation. None of your data will be processed by an automated decision-making system without any human involvement, and no profiling will occur.

 

How do we collect your data?

You directly provide GATE most of the data we collect. We collect and process data when you:

  • voluntarily complete the questionnaire.

 

Who do we share your personal data with?

To communicate our research to the public and the academic community, your data (as an author of the educational material) will be published in the annual GATE Report and on GATE Website and is likely to form part of an open data collection, formal project reporting, research publication, conference presentation or public talk. We will not sell your personal data to third parties or transfer any of your data to third countries where the GDPR does not apply.

 

How will we use your data?

GATE collects your data so that we can:

  • inform others that your educational material is part of the GATE, 
  • inform you about changes in the collected data and guiding thoughts on Open Science training over time, and
  • write the annual GATE Report.

 

How do we store your data?

We will store your data on servers located in the European Union.

 

Retention

Your personal data will be stored for the duration of five years. The disclosure about you as author, your co-authors and your educational materials in the GATE Report and Website will only change in certain circumstances, namely when the data status changes, which will be queried on an ongoing basis. The annual GATE Reports and updates will inform participants regarding changes in current acknowledged guiding thoughts and practices. After the publication of the GATE Report, your data will be stored in the research data repository Zenodo for an indefinite period, where it displays the relation to the GATE.
