Open source science is science accomplished using an open source methodology.

Open source science includes [1]:

  • Transparency in experimental methodology, observation, and collection of data (e.g. MOST methods)
  • Public availability and reusability of that scientific data (e.g. the OSOTF)
  • Public accessibility and transparency of scientific communication.
  • Using web-based tools to facilitate scientific collaboration.
  • Using and developing scientific or engineering open source software and open source hardware for use in doing science

  • Open Science Grid - The Open Science Grid (OSG) advances science through open distributed computing. The OSG is a multi-disciplinary partnership to federate local, regional, community and national cyberinfrastructures to meet the needs of research and academic communities at all scales.
  • Open Source Ecology - is a network of farmers, engineers, and supporters building the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS). GVCS is a modular, DIY, low-cost, high-performance platform that allows for the easy fabrication of the 50 different Industrial Machines that it takes to build a small, sustainable civilization with modern comforts.
