This document outlines the structure and goals of an open science seminar. It introduces concepts like open access, open data, citizen science and open evaluation that will be covered in subsequent class units. Participants will write blog entries summarizing the literature and discussions for each topic. They are also asked to prepare initial ideas for the first collaborative blog post on open cultures and open innovation ahead of the next class. The document establishes that open science aims to make scientific knowledge openly shared and transparent throughout the discovery process in order to increase reproducibility, reusability and societal participation in research.

14. Cultures
of
Openness
Openness
is
an
overarching
concept
or
philosophy
that
is
characterized
by
an
emphasis
on
transparency
and
free,
unrestricted
access
to
knowledge
and
informaSon,
as
well
as
collaboraSve
or
cooperaSve
management
and
decision-­‐making
rather
than
a
central
authority.
Openness
can
be
said
to
be
the
opposite
of
secrecy.
