Open and FAIR Data at EI | Earlham Institute

"Open science describes a set of principles held and practices followed with the aim of making all scientific research - including publications, data, and tools - freely accessible to everyone.

The Earlham Institute is a strong advocate of open science, both as a publicly-funded organisation and in recognition of the huge benefits that come from unimpeded access. These benefits include increased efficiency, greater quality and integrity of science, improved transfer of knowledge, innovation across sectors, and the opportunity for everyone to be engaged with science.

Wherever possible, we publish in open-access journals, make our software and tools available as open source on platforms such as GitHub, and use standardised metadata to improve both reproducibility and clarity for other researchers wanting to use our datasets.

The Institute is a leader in data-intensive bioscience. An ethos of open science provides transparency to people about the data we generate or collect, the methodology used, and the analysis of the results."
