What is Open Science?

“Open Science means opening up the research process by making all of its outcomes, and the way in which these outcomes were achieved, publicly available on the World Wide Web” (Kraker et al. 2011)

Open Data

Publishing the data sets collected in the research process on the World Wide Web, without restricting their use (Murray-Rust 2008)

Important for

Reproducibility

Reuse of data

Aggregation of data

GenBank (storing DNA data sequences) – Bermuda principles

DataShop: educational data resources

dataTEL Initiative

Panton Principles

Peter Murray-Rust, Cameron Neylon, Rufus Pollock, John Wilbanks (2010)

When publishing data make an explicit and robust statement of your wishes

Use a recognized waiver or license that is appropriate for data

If you want your data to be effectively used and added to by others it should be open as defined by the Open Knowledge/Data Definition - in particular non-commercial and other restrictive clauses should not be used.

Explicit dedication of data underlying published science into the public domain via PDDL or CCZero is strongly recommended

Panton Principles in the Humanities

Proposal by Iain Emsley and James Harriman-Smith (2013)

“When publishing a work, make an explicit and robust statement about the uses to which all elements of that work (including annotation, introduction, index, etc.) may be put.”

“Use a recognized waiver or license that is appropriate for that work.”

“If you want your work to be effectively used, adapted, and added to by others it should be open as defined by the Open Content Definition […]”

“Explicit dedication of annotations, editorial matter, etc. embedded in the published work to the public domain is strongly recommended and ensures compliance with the Open Content Definition.”

“Explicit declaration of sources is strongly recommended, regardless of their copyright status, in order to foster a culture of both ‘attibute’ and ‘share-alike’.”
