What is Open Science?

Open science is the movement to make scientific research, data and dissemination accessible to all levels of an inquiring society. - FOSTER Taxonomy.

It encompasses unhindered access to scientific articles, access to data from public research, and collaborative research enabled by [...] tools and incentives. - Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)

It is a set of principles and practices that make scientific research from all fields accessible to everyone – for the benefits of scientists and society as a whole.

Making sure not only that scientific knowledge is accessible but also that the production of that knowledge itself is inclusive, equitable and sustainable. - UNESCO

The vision of Open Science

Illustration of Open Science Process: A hand-drawn illustration by Scriberia shoowing two people representing different stages in the scientific research process, connected through a winding path through a forest. On the left, a person stands holding a notebook labeled "The Turing Way." Above them, a speech bubbles says "Here are my Data" and contains charts and graphs. The winding path leads up a mountain, passing by illustrations of data points and binary code. At the top, another person is standing in front of a large computer screen displaying charts. Above them, a speech bubble reads "Here are my Results," accompanied by various scientific symbols like checkmarks, percentages, and graphs. Along the path, another speech bubble labeled "Here are my Tools" shows a Swiss army knife, symbolising the research tools used. Another bubble at the top says "Here is my Code" and shows code lines on a scroll. This illustration is created by Scriberia with The Turing Way community. Used under a CC-BY 4.0 licence.

Open Science Pillars

![A diagram showing the key elements of Open Science as defined by UNESCO. The diagram features a series of green vertical bars, each representing a core principle of Open Science: Open Data, Open Source, Open Methodology, Open Data, Open Peer Review, Open Access, and Open Educational Resources. The 7 vertical bars originate from a horizontal bar, with a central text "Open Science", and are arranged in a row (side by side).]({% link images/open-science/Open_Science_Pillars.svg %})
