SSP Focus Group: Open Data, Science, and Digital Scholarship | SSP

"What is "open science/open digital scholarship?" "Open" -- whether narrowly understood as access or more broadly understood as transparency -- has increased journal readership, citations, alternative metrics, and online attention, but it goes beyond getting more eyeballs on research. It's also about social justice and giving tax payers -- patients, family members, concerned citizens -- access to the research they fund while increasing public literacy."
