Mosaic is dedicated to exploring the science of life. Each week, a feature is published on an aspect of biology or medicine that affects our lives, our health or our society; we tell stories with real depth about the ideas, trends and people that drive contemporary life sciences.
Mosaic entire library of articles can be reproduced or distributed free of charge – in fact, we encourage you to share or republish our content. All that we ask is that you attribute the work to Mosaic and link back to our website. In turn, we will seek out and republish the most interesting comments and conversations that our features provoke.
This we believe. A world where people are more closely connected to science and scientists is a better world. Having better scientific understanding leads to people having better lives and to societies making better large-scale decisions.
Unfortunately the gap between science and society is massive and only growing larger. SciFund Challenge exists to do something about this problem, by helping to close this gap in three distinct ways. We train and encourage researchers in their science outreach activities. We also help connect the public directly to science and scientists. Lastly, we run science crowdfunding drives to help fund research.
ACI Fondation Blog experiment - Open Notebook Science Network Mozilla Science Center for Open Sciece We foster openness integrity and reproducibility of scientific researchcos is dedicated to improving the alignment between scientific values and scientific practices. As a non-profit technology start-up, our team moves quickly from problem to solution, and continuously evaluates and improves our solutions. We blend science and technology in support of open science - transparency and inclusivity.

rOpenSci on GitHubThe Science Lab is about growing the community around open research in the sciences. Whether you’re a tool developer, bench scientist, or educator, THELABSON! here to help you learn, build, and connect to others working to make the web work for science. Join us.
To help people understand what the open web can do to accelerate science, we run workshops all over the world to help scientists learn the skills needed to use today’s tools and create tomorrow’s.
We also will be building out resources for those looking to learn more about the latest tools and policies and how to apply them to their work.
ocsd is an interactive network aiming to gather observations on whether, and under which conditions, open approaches to research and collaboration could lead to various development outcomes in the Global South.
We adopted “Open and Collaborative Science” (ocs) as an operating term for the research network to remind us of the central nature of network collaboration. Continue Reading
"About Us", http://ocsdnet.org/about-us/
If we take as a starting assumption that Open Science entails collaboration and participation of diverse actors in a wide variety of institutional contexts, with widely different motivations, values and intentions, then we must view Open Science as a conditional process operating within a highly complex socio-technical system. Thus, understanding the principles and dynamics of collaboration and participation should also be central to the proposed network activities.
We adopted “Open and Collaborative Science” (OCS) as an operating term for the research network to remind us of the central nature of network collaboration. In Open Science, not only are research articles openly accessible, but access is also extended to other research objects such as data, software codes, protocols and workflows, such that people are free to use, re-use and distribute without legal, technological or social restrictions. In some cases, Open Science also entails the opening up of the entire research process from agenda-setting, data generation and data analysis, to dissemination and use with the aid of various emerging social platforms and tools. Open Science utilizes the prevalence of the Internet and associated digital tools to enable greater local and global research collaboration. Such collaboration need not be limited to traditional research communities, but could also include the participation of citizen scientists, both in partnership with traditional research institutions as well as those in non-traditional research locations, often using open software, hardware and other open technologies. The notion of OCS is an umbrella term that encompasses a diversity of activities, actors, assumptions, motivations, and institutional contexts and the outcomes of these complex socio-technical interactions are often uncertain. OCS’ outcomes may also turn out to be negative in nature, and could further exacerbate problems of inequitable participation, gender disparity, and further exclusion of researchers who do not have the capacity to take advantage of the network tools and resources.
Openness has been on UCT’s agenda for many years previous to the Initiative, with many academics sharing both their research outputs and their teaching resources through web sites and repositories in an ad hoc manner. In 2007, the Shuttleworth Foundation funded an investigation into all kinds of openness at the university, resulting in 22 outputs being made available....
These 22 outputs were then made available at OpeningScholarship.
Building upon initial successess/momentu,. the
Shuttleworth Foundation built on the momentum and served up a grant for the development of the OpenContent Directory, a repository that makes readily available teaching resources developed by UCT academics. This was followed by a Shuttleworth Foundation grant for the development of the OpenContent Directory which makes available teaching resources developed by UCT academics. At the same time, the Health OER Project was working with the Universities of Michigan and Ghana on OER health resources, and the university started the Knowledge Co-op to open up its relationship with the community beyond the university. On 31 July 2014, the OpenUCT Institutional Repository was officially launched by UCT's VC, Dr Max Price. The Open Science Federation is a nonprofit alliance working to improve the conduct and communication of science. We are scientists and citizen scientists, writers, journalists, and educators, and makers of and advocates for Open Data, Open Access, and Open Source and Standards.OpenContent Directory and OpenUCT
