Center for Open Science Coordinates NASA-Funded Initiative to Support the Year of Open Science

"The Center for Open Science (COS), with support from NASA, is collaborating with 16 organizations that have signed up to participate in the Year of Open Science. Funders, members of the scholarly communications community, builders of standards and research infrastructure, and advocacy organizations have signaled their support for NASA’s plans to Transform to Open Science (TOPS).

As part of the Year of Open Science, NASA made an open call to the research community to join the Year of Open Science efforts to accelerate several priorities, and the research community responded. The participating organizations have committed to advancing four goals:

1. Establish strategic approaches for advancing open science;
2. Promote equitable participation in open science through transparency, integrity and equity of reviews;
3. Account for open science activities in evaluations and incentives; and
4. Engage underrepresented communities in the advancement of open science and research...."
