Open-source Lab
Open source science is science accomplished using an open source methodology.

Open source science includes [1]:

  • Transparency in experimental methodology, observation, and collection of data (e.g. MOST methods)
  • Public availability and reusability of that scientific data (e.g. the OSOTF)
  • Public accessibility and transparency of scientific communication.
  • Using web-based tools to facilitate scientific collaboration.
  • Using and developing scientific or engineering open source software and open source hardware for use in doing science

See Building research equipment with free, open-source hardware[2] and Open-source Lab

To calculate the value of open source development for science see: Quantifying the Value of Open Source Hardware Development

Open access scientific repositories

List - with link and brief description

  • Public Library of Science(PLoS) - nonprofit scientific and medical publishing venture that provides scientists and physicians with high-quality, high-profile journals in which to publish their most important work.
  • BioMed Central - BioMed Central is an STM (Science, Technology and Medicine) publisher which has pioneered the open access publishing model.
  • OpenWetWare - OpenWetWare is an effort to promote the sharing of information, know-how, and wisdom among researchers and groups who are working in biology & biological engineering.
  • SlideShare - A way to share presentations, documents, professional videos and open lecture materials.
  • CC0- Creative Commons - CC0 enables scientists, educators, artists and other creators and owners of copyright or database-protected content, to waive those interests in their works and thereby place them as completely as possible in the public domain.
  • Science 3.0 - Science 3.0 combines the hypothesis based inquiry of laboratory science with the methods of social science research. The website is a community where those interested in the advancement of research can share ideas, tools and build connections.
  • arXiv by Cornell University Library - Open access to over a million e-prints in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Quantitative Biology, Quantitative Finance and Statistics
  • HAL - HAL is a multi-disciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research papers, whether they are published or not, and for PhD dissertation sponsored by the French government. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers.
  • SSRN (Social Science Research Network) - SSRN is devoted to the rapid worldwide dissemination of social science research and is composed of a number of specialized research networks in each of the social sciences.
  • Academia.edu - Academia.edu is a place to share and follow research
  • Mendeley - Free reference manager and academic social network that can help you organize your research, collaborate with others online, and discover the latest research
  • ResearchGate - For Scientists: Connect with researchers, make your work visible and stay current
  • Alfresco - Browser-based platform for social content management and collaboration

Open scientific collaboration

Conferences

Websites

  • The Open Source Science Project OSSP- platform where academic researchers from around the world collaborate to propose and conduct basic research projects with the support of funding provided by the broader online community
  • Open Science Framework- open collaboration of scientists to increase the alignment between scientific values and scientific practices.
  • Open Science Grid - The Open Science Grid (OSG) advances science through open distributed computing. The OSG is a multi-disciplinary partnership to federate local, regional, community and national cyberinfrastructures to meet the needs of research and academic communities at all scales.
  • Open Source Ecology - is a network of farmers, engineers, and supporters building the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS). GVCS is a modular, DIY, low-cost, high-performance platform that allows for the easy fabrication of the 50 different Industrial Machines that it takes to build a small, sustainable civilization with modern comforts.
  • Science 3.0 - Science 3.0 combines the hypothesis based inquiry of laboratory science with the methods of social science research. The website is a community where those interested in the advancement of research can share ideas, tools and build connections.
  • Personal Genome Project - the Human Genome Project provided the first drafts of nearly complete human genome sequences in 2001 after more than a decade of effort by scientists worldwide. This information is now being used to advance medicine, human biology, and knowledge of human origins.
