Overview

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. 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.)

We focus on human subject research. Since people are involved in this type of research, the consistent pursuit of an open science paradigm plays a particularly important role. Open Science covers many different aspects. This Open Science Portal provides first of all an overview on key Open Science building blocks along the human subject research process. Furthermore, we provide an overview on tools and infrastructures as well as resources that are available publicly and at KIT.
