Open science embodies the movement aiming to democratize access to scientific research, including publications, data, physical samples, and software, making them accessible to individuals at all levels of expertise, whether amateur or professional. It fosters transparency and accessibility, allowing shared and collaborative development of knowledge through networked collaborations. This approach includes various practices, such as publishing research openly, advocating for open access, encouraging scientists to engage in open-notebook science (such as openly sharing data and code), broadening dissemination and public engagement in scientific endeavours. Its goal is to streamline the publication, accessibility, and communication of scientific knowledge, making it more accessible and comprehensible for all.
