Open Science Platform: Organisational Info

A platform for the 'Leibniz Association, Research Alliance — Science 2.0' covering the topic of Open Science across Europe.

The editor is Simon Worthington, based at the Open Science Lab, Technische Informationsbibliothek (TIB) | German National Library of Science and Technology, Hannover.

The coordinating bodies are Leibniz Association members: TIB, and Leibniz Information Centre for Economics (ZBW). ZBW is responsible for the Research Alliance — Science 2.0.

Editorial priorities

Our focus will be twofold on the researchers needs, and on Open Science discourse.

• For researchers we will take ‘a needs based approach’ . The aim is that we find ‘replicable models’ that the wider research community can use, either on a conceptual level or in practical implementations.
• Supporting in-depth examination of the ongoing Open Science discourse is vital to researchers being involved in shaping the future of scholarly institutions and ways of working.

Roadmap

Planning and development started mid-October 2017 and a blog launch planned for the research alliance Open Science Conference taking place on the 13-14^th March 2018 in Berlin.

The roadmap is designed to deliver three main objectives:

1. Developing a conceptual framework for editorial priorities,
2. Establishing a contributor network, and
3. Planning the delivery of a multi-channel platform.
