Introduction to Open Science – How to practice science in an accessible, transparent and reusable way

Research is increasingly expected to produce outcomes that are developed for and with society, that are well documented and accessible within and beyond a scientific community, and thus, respond to social challenges and make a real impact. Open Science is committed to ensuring that the entire research cycle shifts towards openness, thereby advancing good scientific practice. Its principles entail the themes Open Educational Resources (OER), Open Access (OA), Open Peer Review, Open Source, Open Methodology and Open Data.
