Definition: "Open Science (OS) is the movement to make scientific research, data, and their dissemination available to any member of an inquiring society, from professionals to citizens. It impinges on principles of scientific growth and public access,s including practices such as publishing open research and campaigning for open access, aiming to make it easier to publish and communicate scientific knowledge. From development to the dissemination of knowledge, several concepts belong under the umbrella term of ‘Open Science.’"
Open Science helps increase rigor, accountability, and reproducibility in research. It is based on the principles of inclusion, fairness, equity, and sharing and ultimately seeks to change the way research is done, who is involved, and how it is valued.
