The **Open Science Resource Interest Group** within the Data and Methodology Task force had an excellent kick-off call last week to begin our next cycle of projects.

Led by @ehutchins, @mariam_isayan, and @mattk, we are pursuing two projects:

1. PDF to Quarto webbook conversion of the Data Wrangling guide (see [here](https://rcop.michaeljfox.org/t/getting-started-with-pd-data-data-wrangling-guide-pdf-github-quarto-book-webpage/1148) for more details)

2. Expansion/Improvement of the [Open Science Guide](https://github.com/MJFF-ResearchCommunity/open-science-guide)

For example, we identified several aspects of the Open Science guide that could use expansion and improvements. To see a current list, click [here](https://github.com/MJFF-ResearchCommunity/open-science-guide/issues).

**Want to be a part of these efforts or have any ideas/suggestions?** Comment below! We’d love to hear from you.

Excited to see the updates to those guides, thanks, @mattk! Will be cool (and super useful) for both of these to be dynamic, living documents.

We’d love any feedback or ideas from our community members with interest or experience in open science!@anajimenahdz, @javier.diazmejia, @jaeyoon.chung, @gabriel.pelletier, @jkemp

Hello Open Science enthusiasts! I wanted to update the community on some of the recent updates to the [Open Science Guide for Parkinson’s Research](https://mjff-researchcommunity.github.io/open-science-guide/) webbook (now officially v 1.0.1).

- Each page is now easily modifiable via a Quarto edit button for easy collaboration (see table of contents on the right-side of each page)
- Webinar link and slides are available in the [Preface](https://mjff-researchcommunity.github.io/open-science-guide/)
- More [detail](https://mjff-researchcommunity.github.io/open-science-guide/considerations.html#making-projects-citeable) on DOI generation, especially for creating DOIs for GitHub repos. I learned through this process that having a `CITATION.cff` file in the GitHub repo is key when integrating between GitHub → Zenodo

Take a look and let me know what you think! Any and all feedback is welcome.

Nice structure updates with a useful tip about Zenodo! Thanks @mattk
