GOSI

Welcome to the "Graz OPEN SCIENCE Initiative"!

We are researchers and students from all over Graz (Austria) and interested in Open Science and Open Access. Those two topics are relevant and will shape science and research in the 21st century.

Open Science broadly addresses the topic of transparency in the scientific process. Many steps during the research process occur in a black box to outsiders, which bears the risk that reported findings are potentially exaggerated or even false. Open Science strives to minimize those risks by promoting more transparency during the research process using online tools (e.g., by uploading data and materials on science clouds).

Open Access aims for free accessibility of research. Currently, most publications are behind expensive paywalls and universities have to pay thousands of Euro to access these articles. However, if research becomes freely accessible, more people can benefit from these findings.
