    When thinking about implementing open science into your research practice, it can feel overwhelming. It is not only a practical and procedural shift of how science is conducted, but also a cultural change with broad and lasting impacts. Taking a panoramic view of open science, we see that the core principles are transparency, reproducibility, and collaboration, and these principles are what...

    This contribution will outline how Open Science is currently implemented across IUCr journals, using the Union’s journals' portfolio to examine practice at the intersection of publications, data and methods. We will focus on how the journals' strategy advances four key pillars: open access to research outputs, routine inclusion of FAIR data and metadata, openness in methods and software, and...

    For 60 years, the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD)[1] has shown how a community can build and maintain a resource that is both accessible and genuinely usable. Long before the FAIR Data Principles were first formulated, the original vision for the CSD helped ensure that structural data is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. Today the database contains more than 1.4 million...

    Open Science is often seen as a movement driven largely from the top by funders, governments and scientific bodies. While there is strong advocacy from the top, there are many scientists who would like to share their software tools and data. They often do not know how or where to share their tools. The European Commission has financed the OSCARS project to help scientists contribute to the...

    Open Science is now a relatively mature concept, but what does it mean and are we really practicing and achieving it? The FAIR principles are generally considered to be a way to guide Open Science and they have been very well communicated, but to what extent are they being adhered to? Further, ‘Open’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘free’ and there needs to be an appreciation that for Open Science to...

    Science is an open endeavour. For hundreds of years scientists have shared their findings and built upon the work of others, with the with the meaning of "open" evolving over time. As computing, Internet connectivity, and digitally generated scientific data expanded rapidly, traditional means of knowledge dissemination could no longer keep pace. Therefore, many open scientific databases...

    Open Science is often discussed as a high level policy, but for the Canadian Light Source (CLS), it is a functional reality that requires custom digital infrastructure. This talk details the devel-opment of XASDB, an open access platform designed to move X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) data from fragmented beamline data to a unified web based environment using stand-ard data structures....

    IMCA-CAT collaborates with the pharmaceutical industry in the pre-competitive space to operate and advance a world-class synchrotron beamline facility for structural research. Although the experimental programs are proprietary, participating companies share a common requirement for the consistent delivery of high-quality structural data, stringent data security, high-throughput performance,...

    Open science is increasingly shaping how industry engages with large-scale research infrastructures, including synchrotrons. This talk explores how open science principles can coexist with proprietary research, enabling industrial users to balance confidentiality, competitiveness, and wider scientific impact.
    Established and emerging access models for industrial usage of synchrotrons will be...

    I know that open research is a good thing to ensure my laboratory’s research findings are as reproducible as possible. Accordingly, as a laboratory leader, I have made all our scientific outputs as available as possible. This involved, as resources grew, such as open access of our publications, protein structure coordinates and structure factors free to deposit and use via the PDB and, as...

    The coordination of data infrastructure is on the rise. “Open Science Commons” or “Data Commons” provide a shared virtual space for data and services. The Research Data Alliance Global Open Research Commons (RDA GORC) groups are working to support coordination amongst national, pan-national and domain specific organizations such as the Digital Research Alliance of Canada and the European Open...
