We are the Open Science Community Mainz, which is part of the International Network of Open Science and Scholarship Communities (INOSC) . While every community is unique, we share a set of Guiding Principles and adhere to a Code of Conduct .

Vision and Mission#

Open Science improves the quality, accessibility, and efficiency of science, but is not yet the norm in research. While pioneering scholars are developing and embracing Open Science practices, the majority sticks to the status quo. To move from pioneers to common practice, we need to engage a critical proportion of the research community.

This is where Open Science Communities come into play.

Open Science Communities provide a place where newcomers and experienced peers interact, inspire each other to embed Open Science practices and values in their workflows, and provide feedback on policies, infrastructure, and support services.

Together, we make Open Science the norm!
