Open Science

What is Open Science

Open science is the movement to make scientific research (including publications, data, physical samples, and software) and its dissemination accessible to all levels of an inquiring society, amateur or professional. Open science is transparent and accessible knowledge that is shared and developed through collaborative networks. It encompasses practices such as publishing open research, campaigning for open access, encouraging scientists to practice open notebook science, and generally making it easier to publish and communicate scientific knowledge.

How to get involved

Being an open scientist means you make as much of your research available to the public. This can take the form of blogs, or making presentations, etc. Open Science Framework has a resource to create opensource notebooks and allows for collaboration with others.
