Challenges Of Modern 
Scientific Community 
•High cost of scientific publications 
•High cost of subscriptions 
•Closed databases 
•Disunity of research labs
Open Science 
• Open science is the movement to make 
scientific research, data and dissemination 
accessible to all levels of an inquiring society, 
amateur or professional. 
• It encompasses practices such as publishing 
open research, campaigning for open access, 
encouraging scientists to practice open 
notebook science, and generally making it 
easier to publish and communicate scientific 
knowledge.

Open Science 
• Transparency in experimental methodology, 
observation, and collection of data. 
• Public availability and reusability of scientific data. 
• Public accessibility and transparency of scientific 
communication. 
• Using web-based tools to facilitate scientific 
collaboration.

Open Access 
• Green Open Access: the author can self-archive at 
the time of submission of the publication (the 
'green' route) whether the publication is grey 
literature (usually internal non-peer-reviewed), a 
peer-reviewed journal publication, a peer-reviewed 
conference proceedings paper or a monograph 
• Gold Open Access: the author or author institution 
can pay a fee to the publisher at publication time, 
the publisher thereafter making the material 
available 'free' at the point of access (the 'gold' 
route).

Linked Open Data 
Data Integration 
Reusable Data
Science Crowdsourcing 
• Genome Project 
• Collaborative online games – Fold.It and EteRNA – 
that simulate protein and RNA folding 
• Polymath Project (an online effort to solve some 
mathematics problems) 
• SETI@home Project (process radio signals to detect 
alien trasmissions) 
• Folding@home (calculate protein foldings)
Open Science Grid Project
rOpenSci Project
Science Open Project
Open Science Framework Project
The Main Directions 
• E-infrastructure for Open Science: 
• Open Databases (both in simple formats 
and in Linked Data formats) 
• Open Platform for scientific 
collaborations 
• Open Publications 
• Open Methodology 
• Open Source software 
• Open Notebook Science - the practice of 
making the entire primary record of a 
research project publicly available online 
as it is recorded
