@European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2022
Open Science (OS) represents research that is collaborative, transparent, and accessible. This includes providing open access to all scientific outputs, such as publications, data, methods, software, and more. OS practices are intended to improve transparency, reproducibility, and dissemination of new knowledge. By enabling greater usability of data and methods, it has the potential to improve the productivity of the research community. Despite best intentions by the scientific community, several barriers often prevent making data, software, and publications fully open and accessible to all. In this Great Debate we invite our panel members and the audience to reflect on successes, limitations, priorities and opportunities for OS across all Geosciences. We hope the Great Debate will equip researchers who are less familiar with OS with a broad view of the current state of the debate, and provide to those more actively enaged in OS an opportunity to share and reflect on experiences and future directions.
