Curation Grants 2024 - Call for Applications

[Lorenz, Anna-Lena]

Call for Applications: ORKG Curation Grants

 

Want to save researchers from the publication flood?

Science is facing a challenge: With the increasing number of publications, it is hard to keep an overview over relevant contributions. The ORKG aims to solve this problem.

Semantic descriptions of research contributions make knowledge human- and machine-readable and enable completely new forms of machine assistance for scientists. With this, we provide the basis for modern scholarly communication.

For this, we need your help!

After the overwhelming success in the previous years, the TIB Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology now invites applications for the fourth round of Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG) Curation Grants, to which researchers (PhD students welcome) from various fields can apply.

Successful applicants will make regular contributions to the ORKG in their research field, for which they will be personally compensated with 400 EUR per month. Grants initially run for six months, with the possibility of extension, and require you to invest approximately one day per week contributing to the ORKG. We expect you to add key research questions and corresponding research contributions in your research field to the ORKG. You will be part of a joint effort to contribute to one of the biggest challenges in research―better organizing the contents of scholarly publications, and you will gain visibility and reputation in your research field.
