Abstract

Can you combine the history of early modern witchcraft studies with open science? Sure! In this episode of Open Science Talk, historian Rune Blix Hagen explains how at the end of his career he digitalized his research data at the library for others to use. He is actually the first person from his institute to openly archive his research data. In this podcast episode, Hagen gives us some insight on how this work has been done, and also his experiences and expectations to publishing research data openly.

The host of this episode is Erik Lieungh.
