A community-powered shared calendar, the Open Research Calendar (https://openresearchcalendar.org/), can enable interested users to keep track of open research events such as the Open Science Fair. -This calendar can help researchers find workshops, conferences and seminars on open research without an effortful search, and minimise the need for scattered manual updates via community-powered automated communication. +This calendar can help researchers find workshops, conferences and seminars on open research without an effortful search, and minimises the need for scattered manual updates via community-powered automated communication. The Open Research Calendar can also provide event organisers with an easy solution to promote their event, reaching a larger audience through this central advertisement portal than they could using traditional channels of event promotion such as newsletters, blogs and websites. The Open Research Calendar addresses these issues through a community Google calendar, which can be synced into a person’s own personal calendar and is automatically updated as new events are added. -Events can be added by anyone through entering the key information into a short Google form. +Events can be added by anyone through entering the key information into a short submission form (https://openresearchcalendar.org/add-event/). Once an event is added, the contributor can edit the event details if needed. Adding an event to the Calendar generates an automated Tweet to notify followers of the calendar about the new event. Quality control is ensured by the community (through a reporting form) and the Open Research Calendar team.
