Why Open Research? Maximize the potential of your research with Gates Open Research

"Open research (otherwise referred to as 'open science' or 'open scholarship') is a set of principles and practices that prioritize openness, transparency, and collaboration across the entire research cycle. These principles and practices are intended to make all forms of research freely available and useable. Open research is centered on the belief that research can achieve its maximum potential impact when it is disseminated as widely as possible.  Open research aims to open up access to all parts of the research process across academic disciplines. For example: methods results publications data software tools peer review Increased openness facilitates greater collaboration, disseminates knowledge, and supports research integrity. This is also vital to tackling the reproducibility crisis in research. To help ensure Gates-funded researchers have access to a publishing platform that is dedicated to openness, quality, and transparency, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation launched Gates Open Research.  ..."
