Open Scientific Knowledge
It refers to the free availability and accessibility of scientific publications, research data, metadata, software, source code, hardware, and educational resources. These resources should be openly licensed, preserved in trusted repositories, and made available in formats that allow for reuse, reproduction, and redistribution by anyone.
Needs
Shared definitions, standardized metadata schemas, common licensing terms
Open access publications, datasets, software, source code, open educational materials
Researcher credit for datasets and software, new metrics beyond publication counts
Tracking publication reuse, citations of datasets, monitoring open access compliance
