Open Science Resources

FORM produces bite-size resources on a rolling basis that offer informative overviews of key topics and issues within the field of Open Science. They are designed to help our network understand the foundational pillars of Open Science, such as Open Infrastructure, Open Publishing, Community Development, and Open Policies. 

Open Access Publishing
Open Access (OA) redefines how scholarly research is shared, ensuring that everyone can access and benefit from academic work or research outputs without financial barriers.
What are Pre-Prints?
Pre-prints are research papers made publicly available by authors on open-access platforms before they undergo formal peer review, enabling rapid sharing and community feedback.
Open Access Copyrights
Being open doesn't mean you lose control over your work. You want to make your research widely available while keeping control over how it is used.
Becoming an Open Peer Reviewer
Reviewing manuscripts or preprints can help you develop your peer review skills, build your public profile, and gain recognition as an open peer reviewer.
