Open Source Software where the source code is available free of cost with terms that allow dissemination and adaptation.

We are seeking contributions of resources and discussion around the topic of open source here (where you can submit a pull request for #hacktoberfest 🎃 ) or feel free to comment below.

Open Data are online, free of cost, accessible data that can be used, reused and distributed provided that the data source is attributed and shared alike.

Come up with a recognition/acknowledgement system to reward and empower contributors.

This issue will contain the notes from Session 582: What resources do we need to break down barriers to open science? which will need to be turned into a post for the project website.

Many scientific fields are still dominated by closed research practices. It is often difficult to reproduce results and frustrating to build on the research of others. The reasons for this are diverse, but one prominent barrier is a lack of understanding about how to work in an open way.

In this session, participants discussed the barriers to and benefits of open science based on their own experiences. From this discussion, we gained insight into what an open science toolkit for researchers should contain and began compiling resources.

This session aimed to address the why's and how's of open science in order to incentivize and make it easy for researchers to open up their workflows.

Session objectives:

• To identify barriers/objections to open science practices in research.
• To break down these barriers by countering them with the benefits to be gained and the resources available to practice open access/data/source/science!

Session slides

Create a short survey using Google Forms to collect insight from the Astronomy community, with questions such as:

• Do you practice open research?
• How? (Open access? data? source?)
• If not, what barriers do you face to researching openly?
• What open science tools, if any, are already widespread in the community?
• What tools/resources do you wish you had at the start of your career?
• Do you have any requests or suggestions for an open science resource kit?

Include input for career stage.

Feel free to comment below with suggestions for survey questions.

Open Access refers to online, free of cost access to peer reviewed scientific content with limited copyright and licensing restrictions.

We are seeking contributions of resources and discussion around the topic of open access here (where you can submit a pull request for #hacktoberfest 🎃 ) or feel free to comment below.

As part of the introduction to the toolkit, we need to discuss why you should research openly (e.g. benefits to both researchers and science) and break down perceived barriers.

You can contribute by:

• adding benefits that you've experienced researching openly here or feel free to comment below
• begin compiling the discussion points and drafting the content for this page (which will end up here)

@rainsworth it was good talking to you at OpenCon and am excited to collaborate on our projects! 🥂

I am working from the libscie/now-boarding repository and would be happy to invite you as a maintainer there if you'd like. I think the main aspect of the collaboration is worthwhile on content and reviewing it via Pull Requests (where we can do line-by-line comments and iterate the content).

Our talk has motivated me to start drafting some content today (finally recovered from the conference), which you can view here. It's just a beginning, but I'd love for us to collaborate on creating the content. I can take on the task of the technical aspects such as the page around it.

Let's discuss further here? 👍

Open Science is the practice of science in such a way that others can collaborate and contribute, where research data, lab notes and other research processes are freely available, under terms that enable reuse, redistribution and reproduction of the research and its underlying data and methods.

We need to set up a GitHub webpage as a project prototype for MozFest.

We are seeking contributions for the ROSA Table of Contents here (where you can submit a pull request for #hacktoberfest 🎃 ) or feel free to comment below.

For a while it will act as a list of topics and resources we want to include in our open science resource kit and eventually it will become more refined and tailored as we figure out how best to organise it.

We need a project logo.
