Welcome
Open Science is a movement for greater transparency and openness in science, which is increasingly having an impact on everyday scientific work and life in all disciplines. Following the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science published in 2021, open science is an umbrella term that “…combines various movements and practices aiming to make multilingual scientific knowledge openly available, accessible and reusable for everyone, to increase scientific collaborations and sharing of information for the benefits of science and society, and to open the processes of scientific knowledge creation, evaluation and communication to societal actors beyond the traditional scientific community."
Open science activities are not limited to providing open scientific knowledge (e.g. through open access, open data, open source, open methodology, open educational resources, etc.) using open science infrastructures, but in addition emphasize accelerating an open dialogue and open engagement with societal actors (e.g. through citizen and participatory science, inclusion of marginalized scholars, etc.)
This Open Science Portal is a central hub that provides comprehensive information about open-science-based research with human subjects. The Portal is developed as part of the Future Field III project "Decision-Making in Hybrid Adaptive Systems for Better Work and Life – An Open Science Approach". This KIT future field initiative is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science as part of the Excellence Strategy of the German Federal and State Governments.

The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), , a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), has published a new article titled “Competition and moral behavior: A meta-analysis of forty-five crowd-sourced experimental designs” co-authored by Petra Nieken. Independent research teams were invited to contribute experimental designs to a crowd-sourced project. In a large-scale online data collection, 18,123 experimental participants were randomly allocated to 45 randomly selected experimental designs out of 95 submitted designs.
The Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE) journal has published a new discussion article titled “Open Science”. Open Science is a movement for greater transparency and openness in science, which is increasingly having an impact on everyday scientific work and life in all scientific disciplines. With this BISE discussion we hope to stimulate a fruitful debate and intensify an exchange within the BISE community on the increasingly important topic of Open Science.
