This will be the first Munin conference to be organized according to the biennial schedule. In the meantime, the organizing committee have keen ears on the movements and news in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Munin conference stays true to its mission to contribute to openness and equity throughout the research lifecycle, from funding to publication and impact. The Munin conference still aims at covering a broad spectrum of topics related to open science, the research process and scholarly communication, and welcomes contributions within \u2013 but <strong>not limited to<\/strong> \u2013 the themes implied in the following axioms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reliability <\/strong>of research<strong> <\/strong>must be secured through structures and practices that promote <em>research integrity <\/em>and counteract <em>questionable research practices<\/em> and known <em>biases<\/em> (e.g. publication bias and \u201cthe file drawer problem\u201d). This holds for the whole process from <em>funding<\/em> to dissemination and entails <em>preregistration, open methods and code, statistical reform, the peer review process, <\/em>and<em>big team science, among other things.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Equity<\/strong> in the research cycle must be improved. Research should benefit all of humanity and <em>neo-colonial research practices<\/em> (\u201chelicopter research\u201d) should be counteracted. <em>Participatory <\/em>and <em>citizen science <\/em>are ways of creating co-ownership of the process and <em>the CARE principles<\/em> ensure the interests and rights of indigenous peoples. A diversity of perspectives and practices should always be the basis for <em>research assessment and evaluation<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For research to have <strong>impact<\/strong>, it must be reliable and disseminated in a way that makes it findable and openly available. To ensure that previous results can yield new advances, publications should be <em>open access, research information <\/em>should be transparent<em>,<\/em> and <em>research data<\/em> should be <em>FAIR<\/em>. The publishing ecosystem should be living and evolving, to bring forth new ways of disseminating research to the scientific society and to stakeholders.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Format of submissions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We welcome any type of submission, whether it is a <strong>research paper, <\/strong>a <strong>hands-on workshop, <\/strong>a <strong>roundtable discussion,<\/strong> a <strong>call to action <\/strong>or<strong>a disruptive reform proposal, <\/strong>a report on a <strong>policy <\/strong>or a <strong>grass-root initiative, <\/strong>a <strong>synopsis of past and current trends, <\/strong>or something else. Untraditional formats are welcome! (The programme committee may suggest another format for a submission.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The materials from the previous Munin conferences are available on the Munin conference\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/site.uit.no\/muninconf\/archive\/\">archive page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Posters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Posters will be hanging in the poster hall throughout the conference and will be published in a digital format in Septentrio Conference Series. There will be designated poster sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Presentations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Oral presentations are no longer than 20 minutes + 5 minutes for questions. At least one author\/presenter must be present in Troms\u00f8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Panels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Panels get a 60-minute slot in the programme for presentations and a discussion. Panels should include at least three panellists in the submission. All panellists must be present in Troms\u00f8. Remember to save some time for questions from the audience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Workshops<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Workshops get a 90-minute slot in the programme. The workshops should be highly interactive, and we encourage any kind of practical activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thematic sessions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes it can be beneficial to delve deeper into the substance of an issue and cover it from more angles than is possible with a presentation or a panel. Thus, for this edition of the Munin conference, we are testing a new format \u2013 parallel thematic sessions of 90\u2013120 minutes. The thematic sessions should include at least three talks from different authors on a selected topic and could include a roundtable discussion in the end. All talks must be confirmed at the point of submission, with authors, titles and abstracts. Submissions with diverse presenters are encouraged and will be prioritized. At least one author\/presenter from each presentation must be present in Troms\u00f8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Munin organizing committee are open to experimenting. If your proposed session does not fit into the formats described above, you will be able to suggest it in the category \u201cOther\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to submit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To submit your proposal, use the following <a href=\"https:\/\/nettskjema.no\/a\/628224\">form<\/a>. If a proposal is accepted, the authors will be asked to submit full metadata for their proposals on another platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important dates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Proposal submission deadline \u2013 16 October 2026<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notification of acceptance \u2013 11 November 2026<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conference registration opens \u2013 January 2027<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conference registration deadline \u2013 31 March 2027<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reliability, equity, impact We are happy to announce the call for the 21st Munin Conference that will take place on April 20\u201322, 2027, in Troms\u00f8, Norway.
