This is the second workshop on Using Repositories in a series of workshop about Open Research Skills. This workshop covers: Introduction to repositories Types of repositories How to choose the “right” repository What are licences Types of outputs that can be published Demonstration Showing how to create an account with a repository Reserve a DOI Archiving files Data and metadata Connect with other programs Exercise Upload files in a repository List of training workshops in Open Research Skills: 24th February 2023 - Open access publishing 24th March 2023 - Using repositories 21st April 2023 - GitHub basics 28th April 2023 - GitHub collaborative workflows 26th May 2023 - Standard vocabularies and ontologies 30th June 2023 - FAIR data Project overview: Our project aims to upskill participants in open research skills to increase the quality and reusability of phytolith research and related disciplines such as archaeology, palaeosciences and plant sciences. We will run six hands-on training workshops on open access publishing and research outputs, using repositories, ontologies and standard vocabularies, implementation of FAIR Guidelines for phytolith research, and two workshops on Github basic and advanced skills. The materials from all workshops will be archived as self-study courses on our website (https://open-phytoliths.netlify.app/). We will also provide translation during workshops and training materials into multiple languages. Keywords Open Access Reproducible Research Training Repositories Grants: EU - Esoc-Life

This is the first workshop on Open Access Publishing in a series of workshop about Open Research Skills. This workshop covers: Introduction to open access publishing Types of open access publishing Examples of open access publishing journals and platforms Benefits of open access publishing Types of outputs that can be published Demonstration Demonstrating open publishing Showing how a reproducible article is published and all the different outputs that are linked to it and how to do this Exercise Discuss and explore open publishing giving examples of different articles that show how open publishing works. We will pick those that show data and code deposited in repositories and also that use of protocol.io for publishing open methods List of training workshops in Open Research Skills: 24th February 2023 - Open access publishing 24th March 2023 - Using repositories 21st April 2023 - GitHub basics 28th April 2023 - GitHub collaborative workflows 26th May 2023 - Standard vocabularies and ontologies 30th June 2023 - FAIR data Project overview: Our project aims to upskill participants in open research skills to increase the quality and reusability of phytolith research and related disciplines such as archaeology, palaeosciences and plant sciences.

These open phytolith publishing guidelines were developed by the International Committee on Open Phytolith Science at the request ofDoris Barboni. The guidelines are initially for use in the special issue on Phytoliths in Asia for the journal -Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology. This will be the first of its kind to ask authors to comply with good open science practices for all of the submissions and we offer these guidelines about best practice to assist authors. There is also a guide for uploading data to Zenodo to help researchers with this step of open publishing. &nbsp

Rainfall, fire, and grazing all control changes in vegetation and soil in grassland and savanna ecosystems. In these ecosystems, wetlands are key resource areas because they keep moisture and collect nutrients that support grass production. The grass production supports high grazer densities in landscapes, especially during dry climatic periods.
