About
An ERA-curated thematic profile exploring how open science can make research more accessible, transparent, and useful to wider communities. Sessions examine responsible openness, the difference between access and discoverability, research reuse, and how researchers and institutions can balance openness with ethical and practical considerations.
Sessions
Making Research More Reusable, Not Just Available
Research that is publicly available is not necessarily easy for others to understand, evaluate, or reuse. This session explores the importance of documentation, accessibility, context, and research practices that support meaningful knowledge reuse.
What Does Responsible Openness Look Like?
Open research creates opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing, but openness also involves ethical and practical responsibilities. This session explores how researchers can balance transparency, accessibility, privacy, and responsible research practices.
Open Research: Accessible Does Not Always Mean Discoverable
Making research openly accessible does not automatically ensure that people can find or understand it. This session explores the difference between availability and discoverability and how researchers can help their work reach wider audiences.
Open Science in the Age of AI
Artificial intelligence is changing how research is discovered, analyzed, and reused. This session explores what these developments mean for open science, research transparency, accessibility, and responsible knowledge sharing.
