“Open Science” is a policy agenda

What did we talk about before we started talking about Open Science?

What are the different areas of Open Science? How do different policy initiatives address these areas?

So it is different things to different people

We used to talk about

Open Source

1998: Netscape Navigator => Mozilla Many products on the market place (Mozilla, Linux,

Lesson: value and businesses can be created in the public domain

We used to talk about

Open Access

Budapest Open Access Initiative (2002) Initially emphasis on self publishing in specific areas

(high energy physics – ArXiv, cognitive science – Eprints) Own set of licenses (Creative Commons) More emphasis on publishers (author’s processing

charges) and policy makers

Lesson: scholarly publishing system is settled in its ways

Page 5: But what is open science?

We used to talk about

Open Data
