HubBucket Inc ("HubBucket") supports and promotes Open Science.

What is Open Science?

Open Science is the practice of making Scientific Research and Processes Available to Everyone, while also Respecting Privacy, Security, and Diverse Cultures

1. Increase scientific collaboration and information sharing
2. Open up the processes of scientific knowledge creation, evaluation, and communication
3. Make science more accessible, inclusive, and equitable

Open Science is based on the philosophy of Open Source software, which is shared and improved by its users and engineers. Some benefits of open science include: More transparent and shareable research, The potential for faster and more efficient innovation, and Increased quality of scientific output.

The United States of America (USA) government has designated 2023 as the Year of Open Science. The federal government is working to: Advance national Open Science policy, Provide access to the results of taxpayer-supported research by the end of 2025, Accelerate discovery and innovation, Promote public trust, and Drive more equitable outcomes.

NASA's Transform to Open Science (TOPS) initiative is part of their Open-Source Science Initiative. TOPS aims to create a scientific culture that is ready for 21st century challenges.

Open Science is the movement to make scientific research (including publications, data, physical samples, and software) and its dissemination accessible to all levels of society, amateur or professional. Open Science is transparent and accessible knowledge that is shared and developed through collaborative networks. It encompasses practices such as publishing open research, campaigning for open access, encouraging scientists to practice open-notebook science (such as openly sharing data and code, broader dissemination and engagement in science and generally making it easier to publish, access and communicate scientific knowledge.

Usage of the term varies substantially across disciplines, with a notable prevalence in the STEM disciplines. Open Research is often used quasi-synonymously to address the gap that the denotion of "Science" might have regarding an inclusion of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. The primary focus connecting all disciplines is the widespread uptake of new technologies and tools, and the underlying ecology of the production, dissemination and reception of knowledge from a research-based point-of-view.

As Tennant et al. (2020)[9] note, the term open science "implicitly seems only to regard ‘Scientific’ disciplines, whereas Open Scholarship can be considered to include research from the Arts and Humanities, as well as the different roles and practices that researchers perform as educators and communicators, and an underlying Open Philosophy of sharing knowledge beyond research communities."

Open Science can be seen as a continuation of, rather than a revolution in, practices begun in the 17th century with the advent of the academic journal, when the societal demand for access to scientific knowledge reached a point at which it became necessary for groups of scientists to share resources with each other. In modern times there is debate about the extent to which scientific information should be shared. The conflict that led to the Open Science movement is between the desire of scientists to have access to shared resources versus the desire of individual entities to profit when other entities partake of their resources. Additionally, the status of open access and resources that are available for its promotion are likely to differ from one field of academic inquiry to another.

Types

The term "Open Science" does not have any one fixed definition or operationalization. On the one hand, it has been referred to as a "puzzling phenomenon". On the other hand, the term has been used to encapsulate a series of principles that aim to foster scientific growth and its complementary access to the public. Two influential sociologists, Benedikt Fecher and Sascha Friesike, have created multiple "schools of thought" that describe the different interpretations of the term.

HubBucket Inc ("HubBucket") supports and promotes Open Access (OA)

What is Open Access (OA)?

Open Access (OA) is a set of principles and a range of practices through which nominally copyrightable publications are delivered to readers free of access charges or other barriers. With open access strictly defined (according to the 2001 definition), or Libre Open Access, barriers to copying or reuse are also reduced or removed by applying an open license for copyright, which regulates post-publication uses of the work.

The main focus of the Open Access (OA) movement has been on "peer reviewed research literature", and more specifically on academic journals. because:

1) such publications have been a subject of serials crisis, unlike newspapers, magazines and fiction writing. The main difference between these two groups is in demand elasticity: whereas a teacher of English literature can substitute in her class a copyrighted Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone with a ca. 300-year old free-domain A Voyage to Lilliput without a detrimental effect on the students, an emergency room physician treating a patient for a life-threatening urushiol poisoning cannot substitute the most recent, but pay-walled review article on this topic with a 90 year-old copyright-expired article[4] that was published before the invention of prednisone in 1954.

2) the authors of research papers are not paid in any way, so they do not suffer any monetary losses, when they switch from behind pay-wall to open access publishing, especially, if they use diamond open access media.

3) the cost of electronic publishing, which has been the main form of distribution of journal articles since ca. 2000, is incommensurably smaller, than the cost of on-paper publishing and distribution, which is still preferred by many fiction literature readers.

Whereas Non-Open Access journals cover publishing costs through access tolls such as subscriptions, site licenses or pay-per-view charges, Open-Access (OA) journals are characterized by funding models which do not require the reader to pay to read the journal's contents, relying instead on author fees or on public funding, subsidies and sponsorships. Open access can be applied to all forms of published research output, including peer-reviewed and non peer-reviewed academic journal articles, conference papers, theses, book chapters, monographs, research reports, data, images, videos, etc.

HubBucket Inc ("HubBucket") supports and promotes "Open Source" Software and other "Open Source" Technology

What does Open Source mean?

The term Open Source refers to something people can modify and share because its design is publicly accessible.

The term originated in the context of software development to designate a specific approach to creating computer programs. Today, however, "Open Source" designates a broader set of values—what we call "the Open Source Way." Open Source projects, products, or initiatives embrace and celebrate principles of open exchange, collaborative participation, rapid prototyping, transparency, meritocracy, and community-oriented development.

What is Open Source Software?

Open Source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify, and enhance.

"Source Code" is the part of software that most computer users don't ever see; it's the code computer programmers can manipulate to change how a piece of software—a "program" or "application"—works. Programmers who have access to a computer program's source code can improve that program by adding features to it or fixing parts that don't always work correctly.

What's the difference between Open Source software and other types of software?

Some software has source code that only the person, team, or organization who created it—and maintains exclusive control over it—can modify. People call this kind of software "proprietary" or "closed source" software.

Only the original authors of proprietary software can legally copy, inspect, and alter that software. And in order to use proprietary software, computer users must agree (usually by signing a license displayed the first time they run this software) that they will not do anything with the software that the software's authors have not expressly permitted. Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop are examples of proprietary software.

Open Source software is different. Its authors make its source code available to others who would like to view that code, copy it, learn from it, alter it, or share it. Libre Office and the GNU Image Manipulation Program are examples of open source software.

As they do with proprietary software, users must accept the terms of a license when they use open source software—but the legal terms of open source licenses differ dramatically from those of proprietary licenses.

Open Source licenses affect the way people can use, study, modify, and distribute software. In general, open source licenses grant computer users permission to use open source software for any purpose they wish. Some Open Source licenses—what some people call "copyleft" licenses—stipulate that anyone who releases a modified open source program must also release the source code for that program alongside it. Moreover, some open source licenses stipulate that anyone who alters and shares a program with others must also share that program's source code without charging a licensing fee for it.

By design, Open Source software licenses promote collaboration and sharing because they permit other people to make modifications to source code and incorporate those changes into their own projects. They encourage computer programmers to access, view, and modify open source software whenever they like, as long as they let others do the same when they share their work.
