Open Science: Application and Benefits
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like609 views
Open science refers to making scientific research and data accessible to all levels of society. It involves transparency in methodology, public availability and reusability of data, and using web tools to facilitate collaboration. Open science is enabled by digital technologies and driven by growth of data, globalization of science, and addressing societal challenges. It offers benefits like increased research efficiency, rigor and visibility, enabling new questions and collaboration. Funders also require open access to publications and data sharing to maximize returns on public investment in research.
![What is open science?
The movement to make scientific research, data and
dissemination accessible to all levels of an inquiring society.
[FOSTER, Open Science Definition https://www.fosteropenscience.eu/taxonomy/term/7]
Scope:
• Transparency in experimental methodology, observation, and
collection of data
• Public availability and reusability of scientific data
• Public accessibility and transparency of scientific
communication
• Using web-based tools to facilitate scientific collaboration

![Open Science is here to stay
In June 2015, the Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation
Carlos Moedas defined three strategic priorities: Open Innovation,
Open Science and Openness to the World.
Open Science describes the on-going transitions in the way research is
performed, researchers collaborate, knowledge is shared, and science
is organised. It is enabled by digital technologies, and driven by:
• the enormous growth of data,
• the globalisation and enlargement of the scientific community to
new actors (e.g. citizen science), and
• the need to address societal challenges.

Open Access (OA) :
“Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. What makes it
possible is the internet and the consent of the author or
copyright-holder.”
[Suber, 2004. http://legacy.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/overview.htm]
Routes to OA:
• Open Access Journals/Hybrid Journals
• Open Repositories: institutional & subject

![A taste of UK funders’ open access policies
HEFCE/REF
“The policy states that, to be eligible for submission to the post-2014 REF,
authors’ outputs must have been deposited in an institutional or subject
repository. Deposited material should be discoverable, and free to read and
download, for anyone with an internet connection.”
[http://www.hefce.ac.uk/pubs/year/2014/201407/]
RCUK
“The Research Councils work to ensure that the public investment in research
secures the maximum economic and societal return. One of the ways of
achieving this is through Open Access. The RCUK Policy on Open Access aims
to achieve immediate, unrestricted, on‐line access to peer‐reviewed and
published research papers, free of any access charge.”
