These are slides from Workshop #1.8 at the National Open Science Festival, held at Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands on 31 August 2023. Title: Towards a national Social and Behavioral Science Publication Package resource: An inaugural 'participatory infrastructuring' workshop Abstract Since 2018, researchers employed in Faculties of Social and Behavioral Sciences (FSWs) at Dutch universities have been held to a set of domain-specific standards regarding the handling of their research data: the 'Guideline for the archiving of academic research for Faculties of Behavioural and Social Sciences in the Netherlands' (henceforth, the Guideline). One central element of the Guideline – now in its second iteration (DSW, 2022) – is a requirement for research publications to have an associated set of materials assembled into what the document refers to as a Publication Package (PP). The stated goal of PPs is to 'ensure the transparency of qualitative and quantitative empirical research' conducted in FSWs. While the Guideline applies to all FSWs, at present there is neither a shared understanding of how the PP requirement is being implemented in different institutional settings, nor how it is being adapted to accommodate the diversity of disciplines, methodological approaches, and epistemological traditions that FSW research encapsulates. Moreover, despite its aspirations toward transparency, the Guideline also states that PPs are only to be made accessible to 'academic peers' upon 'reasonable request.' While for a myriad of valid reasons the underlying empirical data and/or code contained in Publication Packages cannot be exposed publicly, there is a great deal of information about their projects that researchers are asked to produce in the process of assembling PPs that can be made available to the academic community and the wider public. Departing from these two points, we invite FSW researchers and directors, Research Data Management experts (e.g. Data Stewards, Data Managers), and other stakeholders (e.g. ...
