Open Science mit Mini-Budget: Wie kleine Einrichtungen Großes bewirken können - TIB-Blog

From Google's English:  "Isn't open science at small institutions doomed to failure anyway? Or is it? Small institutions, in particular, face a major disadvantage when implementing new services: resources. This starts with a lack of staff, continues with the facility's equipment, and ends with the vexed issue of funding.

However, the advancing digitalization of science has far-reaching implications for research and educational institutions. In the context of Open Science, the sub-areas of open source, FAIR data, and Open Educational Resources (OER) are gaining increasing relevance. And these concepts hold considerable potential for educational institutions, especially libraries. But how exactly does implementation look when resources are limited?

There is no clear answer to this question. However, there are ways to facilitate resource-efficient implementation. Through interviews, a best-practice guide (Best Practice for Open Educational Resources, Open Source, and Open Data at Universities of Applied Sciences in North Rhine-Westphalia) was developed to facilitate the integration of these aspects.

In this context, there are four measures that institutions can implement cost-effectively to facilitate the implementation of Open Science."
