Open Science Primer

Join the Open Science Community

This online community is open to anyone and participants do not need to be enrolled in the Open Science Primer to join. This Google Group, called Open Science Community, serves as an informal discussion group of librarians and other information professionals who support Open Science at their institutions, as well as those interested in approaches to support Open Science initiatives. This space is intended to allow individuals to share opportunities for collaboration, collectively brainstorm or troubleshoot, discuss ideas, share projects, celebrate successes, and support one another through struggles related to supporting Open Science.

To join, read the group's Code of Conduct and request permissions using the link below. All participants must adhere to the code of conduct to be granted and retain membership.
