What is open science and what can it do for research? The new Road to Open Science podcast follows the path to open science through the perspective of researchers. It covers various aspects, from practicalities to policies and philosophies.
For many within the academic community the subject of open science is still unknown territory or a very unclear subject. Those who have already gained more knowledge on the topic, have very varying views when it comes to definitions and practices. Through interviews with researchers from different disciplines who share their experiences, the podcasts provide a structured source of information and hope to clear the way for more relevant and deeper discussions.
