This is the session that Sean Ekins (@collabchem) and I will lead at ScienceOnline2013 (#scio13) This session will discuss what open science means and how we can encourage it, if indeed we need to. Questions: - How do we define openness – Open Access, Open Data, Open Science? - Are there obvious benefits to openness in science? - If yes, what are the blocks towards openness? Tools, Systems, IP concerns, organizational support. - Do scientists have to be fully open or is partial or part time open? - What are incentives to move scientists towards openness - Do journals, patents, IP all prevent openness? - Do open journals promote open science or not? - What projects can we launch at SciO13 and monitor/measure for impact of Open Science - Which prominent open scientist can we invite to scio13?

2. Openness..can be confusing
• Open Access versus Free Access
• Open Data versus free to download
• Open Source and all of its “licenses”
• This session likely won’t clear up all questions!!!
• We intend to encourage more openness though!
• And if you choose not to..we want to know why?

3. What project(s) could we progress in
Open Science and report at #SciO14?
What projects can we launch HERE at Scio13 and
monitor/measure for impact of Open Science

4. Open Science Project launched
#SciO12
#scio12 inspired us to
create a flipboard for Open Drug Discovery Teams
science #ODDT
Embraced by rare
disease advocates
Getting people to share
data openly is a
challenge
NIH SBIR reviewers want
closed systems to
preserve IP

5. Examples of Open Science
Proud of this number
Sean transforms from closed to open scientist as an
experiment before my own eyes
Where will it lead too?
You can too..

6. Examples of Open Science
Some want to
change the way
we fund
research
#scio13openscience @chemconnector @collabchem

7. Examples of Open Science
Some want to
make research
reproducible
