Why open science
Open science accelerates discovery by making methods, data, and results accessible for scrutiny and reuse. It reduces duplication, unlocks collaboration across disciplines, and shifts incentives towards real impact rather than venue prestige.
Core principles
- Transparency: Methods, data, and decisions are described clearly.
- Reproducibility: Others can repeat analyses and obtain similar results.
- FAIR data: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable.
- Inclusive collaboration: Barriers to participation are minimised.

How ScienceEcosystem supports this
- Unified records: Papers linked with datasets, code, and preregistrations.
- Open access first: If an OA version exists, it is prioritised.
- Identity & attribution: ORCID for authors; persistent IDs for works.
- Provenance graph: Trace versions, retractions, and dependencies.
