What is Open Science?
Open science is a framework in research that can accelerate the generation of knowledge and its application to the development of novel treatments for neurological and psychiatric conditions by removing barriers to sharing and use of that knowledge. Open science calls for a free flow of information, materials, and data, and this knowledge dissemination in turn can speed innovation for the benefit of those affected by these debilitating conditions. Beyond the opportunity to speed discovery, open access publication is already mandated by some funding agencies.
Why Open Science?
The way research is traditionally shared can slow progress. Restricted access, siloed data, and publication bias limit how quickly discoveries translate into real-world impact.
Open science changes that.
By making research outputs accessible, reusable, and collaborative, we can accelerate discovery and improve outcomes for patients.
