Open Science is an umbrella term for an approach that aims to make scientific research accessible, reproducible, and freely available to people within and outside of academics.

Ook voor de Faculteit der Rechtsgeleerdheid was 2020 een bijzonder jaar. Het was een jaar waarin alles anders werd.

Slowly but surely Open Science is becoming a standard in scholarly research, making it more open, collaborative, transparent, and after all FAIR, from its planning stages to publishing and re-use of data.

Crucial information about research, funding or how university rankings are created is often not freely accessible. The Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information calls for such information to be made open. Professor Ludo Waltman is one of its initiators. What needs to change?

From study places to consulting collections and from a meeting with your faculty liaison to getting books after opening hours: the new Science Library offers it all. The library moved to a brand new location in the Gorlaeus building and will be open starting 15 April.

Complete open access may not be possible because of various reasons: research ethics, privacy legislation, intellectual property, continuing research. The Easy archive at KNAW/DANS provides various access levels to deal with these issues.
