Dan at The OpenScience Project has a new post defining what “open science” means. The author advocates a completely open approach to scientific research, and argues that research isn’t complete until it is available to the rest of the community. From the post:
A “secret” experimental design doesn’t give skeptics the ability to repeat (and hopefully verify) your experiment, and the same is true with numerical experiments. Science has to be “verifiable in practice” as well as “verifiable in principle”.
Thanks to Glyn Moody for the link.
