what is open science?

sharing knowledge accelerates innovation and advances discovery

Science can be expensive, competitive, and challenging to share.

Research requires costly staff hours, laboratory space, and specialized materials.

The first scientists to announce a discovery or advancement are more likely to secure grants, patents, and other opportunities. There are other barriers to sharing science including cloud storage costs, data formatting, and online publishing hurdles.

‍

the power and promise of open science

In recent decades, fueled by increasing global collaborations and technological advancements including the internet and cloud computing, there has been a growing movement to remove paywalls and barriers to sharing scientific data and resources to accelerate research.

This movement is called: Open Science.

access for all/

Open Science aims to make scientific resources available to everyone.

Often this includes sharing data, but it also applies to any other scientific resource including custom microscope designs, stem cell lines, machine learning algorithms, software, and more.

Explore the Open Science movement: what it is, why it matters, and how it’s transforming research around the world.
