What is Open Science
We endorse Open Science; the global transition towards a new, more open and inclusive way of conducting, publishing and evaluating scientific research. Central to this concept is the goal of increasing cooperation and transparency in all research stages. This is achieved, among other ways, by sharing research data, publications, software, tools and results as early and open as possible.
Main topics
Multiple topics are identified in the Open Science transition:
- Open Access
- FAIR
- Citizen Science
Open Access
Open Access of publications provides direct, free and online access to scientific publications without copyright restrictions of publishers. It increases the visibility of a publication.
