HOSS-lab (Human Open Sciences Services) is a strategic initiative at LiU aimed at coordinating methodological knowledge, expertise and equipment for research on humans.

HOSS-lab will serve as an interdisciplinary hub that provides researchers studying humans with guidance and education to make informed choices throughout the research process, as well as practical help and infrastructure to conduct transparent and credible research.

Physical and virtual infrastructure focus on behavioral measurements

Currently, HOSS-lab is under development but will eventually be both a physical and virtual infrastructure, serving as a hub for coordinating research projects, methodological seminars, and access to technology for data collection.

We will offer infrastructure and expertise for research that may include both quantitative and qualitative elements, with a focus on behavioral measurements, complemented by, for example, physiological measurements.

Open science

The “Open” in Human Open Science Services represents that HOSS, in addition to methodological expertise and infrastructure, will provide guidance on transparent methods and open sharing of data and research materials. But “Open” also has another meaning – HOSS is open to researchers both within and outside of LiU who need expertise and infrastructure for measuring human behavior (from idea to recruitment, study design, result analysis, to data compilation).

So, if you are a researcher who wants to gain more interdisciplinary breadth, use new measurement or analysis methods, or gain more insight into how to apply open science and research ethics principles within your research, HOSS-lab has the expertise to help you with exactly that. Follow this page for more information on what we will be able to offer in the future.
