Open Science and interdisciplinary collaboration: it all begins at home – or the lab | OCSDNET

Summary:

"When we consider the lessons of open science, we see that most collaborative practices are established in formats based primarily on online collaboration and the multiple use of shared resources. This is because the model of collaboration in open science copies practices that have begun in the culture of free software.

When these practices are translated to the scientific field, they work very well in two situations: in cases like Polymath, where most of the people that collaborate work with a very specific problem – the resolution of a mathematical challenge – and share similar capabilities. Or in cases where scientists from different disciplines use the same set of data to run different analyzes – something that is also known as 'data intelligence.'

But, how do these practices translate into the everyday life of a scientific research centre? And even more, how can we foster a culture of collaboration and enable it to flourish among the contradictory requirements of the scientific evaluation system?"
