2. Open Science?

The movement that advocates making changes to the research process that make more of the outputs of research accessible in an effective and timely way (more stuff, more available, more quickly)

Includes Open Access publication, Open Data, and Open Process (access to e.g. source code and experimental protocols)

Technical and social issues

The design of tools cannot be divorced from the cultural and social issues that surround them

Technical solutions, no matter how promising, can only help

Community building is just as important (but not more important)

Need an active conversation between users (of all sorts) and builders

But very important!

Does any of this actually provide benefits, and if so, who to?

What is the return on investment?

Difficult to measure and long term studies needed (longer than the average grant term)

But without this it is difficult to convince anyone of anything

15. Main themes

If you build it they wont come

Build the serviceandthe community

Standards and methods of citation are at the core of good science. We need to do better at citing services, infrastructure, assistance

Specific tools are required (persistent identity, good repository systems)

16. Going forward?

Focus on specific actions with measurable outcomes

Identify successes and celebrate (in the mainstream science media)

Identify failures, reflect and learn (and then share that in an open way)

Change is slowthereistime to think
