Open Science
Making data
research
dissemination
available to all
Why?
Because we need to be credible.
Because reproducibility is one of
the fundamental tenets of science.
Because Fox News, creationism,
and the war on science.
Because we need to be credible.
Because reproducibility is one of
the fundamental tenets of science.
“Help us identify grants that are wasteful
or that you don’t think are a good use of
taxpayer dollars.” !
Rep. Adrian Smith (R-Nebraska), a member of the House Committee on
Science and Technology
Because Fox News, creationism,
and the war on science.
Because we need to be credible.
Because reproducibility is one of
the fundamental tenets of science.
Because it means faster progress.
Because you are a future

2 flavors
of OA
FromFlickrbyTheCulinaryGeek
OA: OA Journals
•  Some charge authors but
many don’t
•  Waived fees if institution has
a subscription
•  Institutions have funds for
paying fees
OA: OA Repositories
•  House articles for authors
•  Articles can be in OA journals or
traditional journals
•  Post-print archiving is…
explicitly allowed by ~60% of journals
allowed by almost all others by request
•  Solves pricing and permission problems
