Carly Strasser, a manger with DataCite, recently released a guide for embracing open science aimed at graduate students titled Introduction to Open Science: Why data versioning and data care practices are key for science and social science.
In the guide, the author lists ten things that you should undertake in your first year as a graduate student, and then elaborates on the rationale behind her recommendations. Her advice has wider applications than just graduate students, and this guide is worth a read for anyone in the scientific community.
Her list includes why learning to code will make you a better scientist, why you should create a data management plan, and why you should consider publishing in open access journals.
