Elements of open scienceMaking each phase of the research life cycle more open• Open notebooks• Open data• Open research software• Open access

Each element of the research process should• Be publicly available• Be reusable• Induce collaboration• Be transparent and

have appropriate metadata

Ensuring the integrity of the scholarly record

• Open Access• IR for pre- and post-prints, conference presentations, posters, all manner of

grey literature• Supporting OA journals• Pre- & post-pub peer review• Reduce time-to-publication

• Open Data• Open data standards & guidelines• Data publishing – journals & repositories• Data discovery, citation, & impact

• Open Reproducible Research• Study registration• Cite code & software• Publish negative/neutral results• Using open file formats• Long-term preservation

Ensuring the integrity of the scholarly record

• Open Science Evaluation• Metrics for all products• Open metrics (citation, ALM, altmetrics, webometrics)• Open peer review

• Open Science Policies• Retraction & correction• Licensing for reuse• Funder, publisher, institutional policies

• Open Science Tools• IR & data repositories• Unique identifiers (e.g., ORCID, DOI, FundRef, etc.)• Open licenses for IP, data, code, etc.

Openness throughout the research process

• Open notebooks• Open scientific workflows & data provenance• Open source• Data sharing/open data

• Use of standards• Cataloged for discovery• Machine-readable• Open file formats

• Reproducibility guidelines• Reproducibility & irreproducibility (meta)research• Open peer review• Open research evaluation data and guidelines

Expanding the scholarly record

• Funding proposals• Data management plans• Study registration• Conference presentations, posters, panels, etc.• Blog posts, social media conversations• Formal and informal pre- and post-publication review• Connecting scholarly products through unique identifiers• Create a more complete scholarly record

The potential of open science• Data reuse & the open data citation advantage• Open Source Malaria• Alzheimer’s drug discovery Big Data portal• Galaxy Zoo• Foldit• Open data as open educational resources (pre-print)

Open librarianship/LISWhy?• Role as practitioners-scholars• Values align with missions of open science• Demonstrate the change we want to see from other disciplines• Provide practical experience and use cases

How?• Conduct “how open is it?” analysis of our own literature• Open up our circulation, collection, reference, instructional, &

other data for use as OER by LIS students• License our data for reuse• Build our own tools & systems to aggregate and use our data, to

improve practice through data-driven research
