What is Open Science
Open Science promotes sharing and collaboration in scientific research, fostering the free dissemination of results and transparency of research processes by encouraging reuse through open licenses.
Open Science is the practice of science in such a way that others can collaborate and contribute, where research data, lab notes and other research processes are freely available, under terms that enable reuse, redistribution and reproduction of the research and its underlying data and methods.
