2. Open Science
“Open Science represents a new approach to the
scientific process based on cooperative work and new
ways of diffusing knowledge by using digital
technologies and new collaborative tools. The idea
captures a systemic change to the way science and
research have been carried out for the last fifty years:
shifting from the standard practices of publishing
research results in scientific publications towards sharing
and using all available knowledge at an earlier stage in
the research process.”
“Open Science has an impact on the entire research
cycle, from the inception of research to its publication,
and on how this cycle is organised.”
