What is Open Science?

Open Science aims to make all parts of the research cycle as accessible as possible for as many people as possible. It applies to all disciplines, the sciences and the humanities, from Archaeology to Zoology. Open Science includes (but is not limited to):

• transparent and reproducible research
• open access to research publications
• research data sharing
• open source research software
• open educational resources
• open lab notebooks
• etc.
