What is it? Why should I care? What can we do to make it
happen?
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

- 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
14. Workshop material is open
- Introduction on p540 of Proceedings
- All online material available via:

recorded video (Mogulus)
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

research process is an area for (experimental) research that
requires the same rigour, standards (and funding) as anything else
that we do
