Abstract
Open Science is a movement that strives for research conduct that is grounded in transparency and integrity. This push toward Open Science has taken on many forms including Open Science Communities. These communities work towards an open scientific future; one way they do this is by hosting journal clubs. These journal clubs are called ‘ReproducibiliTea’ in which scientists or students get together to discuss topics related to Open Science. However, in the Netherlands, most of these clubs have become inactive, indicating challenges in the organization process. In response, this study aimed to explore how one can run a successful ReproducibiliTea by investigating the barriers and facilitators in the organization process. Six organizers were interviewed and the data were analyzed with reflexive thematic analysis guided by Wenger’s Communities of Practice framework. This resulted in five themes that consisted of barriers and facilitators. Ultimately, to run a successful ReproducibiliTea, an organizer ought to establish a Community of Practice by 1) carefully picking meaningful topics, 2) having a clear direction to direct the members towards, 3) communicating with other ReproducibiliTeas, the OSC, and participants, 4) deciding on a format that enables the most participation, and 5) clearly outlining which types of internal leadership is required.
