Open Science Definition (FOSTER)

Open Science is the practice of science in such a way that others can collaborate and contribute, where research data, lab notes and other research processes are freely available, under terms that enable reuse, redistribution and reproduction of the research and its underlying data and methods.

Open Your Workflow

Your research workflow can be defined by the tools you use to manage the research information you generate throughout the research lifecycle, whether it be protocols, field notes, transcripts, data, code, manuscripts, slides, posters, or publications. 

One of the ways you can support open, transparent, citable, findable, and sharable research information and outputs is to use tools that will make this process easier.
