Presentation held at the Intensive Course, Weizmann Institute of Science, Tel Aviv, October 24-25, 2018. iPEN European project (Innovative Photonics Education in Nanotechnology).
6. Objectives of the module
• Introduce the approaches, tools and common practices of Open
Science.
• Raise awareness about concomitant terms (Open Notebook, Open
Data, Open Research Software, Open Access), as they can directly
enrich each step of the scholarly lifecycle.
• Situate research outputs in the context of shared economy and
values of openness.

9. Brainstorming time!
• How familiar you are
with the term?
• What are the concepts
that come to your mind
when you hear “open
science” ?
10. Why Open Science?
The concept of Responsible Research and Innovation
(RRI) is an approach which intends to bridge gaps between
science, research and innovation communities and society
at large by fostering more inclusive, anticipatory, open and
responsive research and innovation systems.
"Responsible research and innovation is an approach that
anticipates and assesses potential implications and societal
expectations with regard to research and innovation, with the aim
to foster the design of inclusive and sustainable research and
innovation”
From https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/en/h2020-section/responsible-research-
innovation
11. Why Open Science?
Open science as a societal change:
“RRI is implemented as a package that includes multi-
actor and public engagement in research and
innovation, enabling easier access to scientific
results, the take up of gender and ethics in the research
and innovation content and process, and formal and
informal science education”https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/node/766

15. 2 routes to open access: green and gold
• Self-archiving / 'green' open access – the author, or a representative,
archives (deposits) the published article or the final peer-reviewed
manuscript in an online repository before, during or after publication.
• Open access publishing / 'gold' open access - an article is published
immediately in open access mode. This includes a fee (Article
Processing Charges, APCs) borne by the researcher's university or
research institute or the agency funding the research.

17. Choosing the right medium(s) to release
your research
There are several publicly accessible spaces where publications
can be uploaded and shared, such as
• Zenodo;
• Academia.edu;
• ResearchGate;
• The online repository of your institution
and figshare for open data.
What are their differences? Which ones do you use?

18. The Open access requirement in EU
Requirement to:
• release all scientific results (publications) in open access; full
justification in case of impossibility to do so
• since 2018 the same applies to data (Data Management Plans a
condition for eligibility of EU funded proposals). The piloting phase
where open access to data was optional, is over.
