Open science is a change of model in the way we do research:
- it implies a more open vision in all the phases of an investigation: the design of the project, the collection of data, the evaluation and publication of results ...
- promotes values such as collaboration, transparency, reuse and dissemination of knowledge.
- it implies a structural change for all the agents involved: research staff, funding agencies, universities, citizens. It is a short-term challenge for research institutions such as universities.
