Hva er åpen vitenskap?

Hva er åpen vitenskap? Günther Oettinger and Carlos Moedas beskrev dette i en felles bloggpost 22. juni 2015 på en enkel måte:

Open Science describes the on-going transitions in the way research is performed, researchers collaborate, knowledge is shared, and science is organised. It represents a systemic change in the modus operandi of science and research. It affects the whole research cycle and its stakeholders, enhances science by facilitating more transparency, openness, networking, collaboration, and refocusses science from a 'publish or perish' perspective to a knowledge-sharing perspective.
