Description:
Science and research thrive on the open exchange of knowledge: Sharing, networking and collaborating are central elements of scientific culture. Digitalization dynamically advances the possibilities of this culture. The paradigm of openness therefore opens up new prospects in the entire scientific research cycle and enables research results to be made openly accessible and broadly reusable in sustainable infrastructures. This open culture of scientific endeavor is captured by the term “open science,” and is a guiding principle for Helmholtz in keeping with good scientific practice. An open science culture considers research products such as datasets and code equally important as articles and other text publications. In line with the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science and the enshrining of open science in national, European, and international science policy, Helmholtz adopted its Open Science Policy in September 2022. In their drive to make the results of their own work publicly available to science, industry, and society for reuse with as few barriers as possible, the Helmholtz Centers call on their employees to make research results achieved alone or in collaboration with other researchers in the course of their work for Helmholtz open and reusable whenever possible according the principle of intelligent openness – that is, “as open as possible and as closed as necessary.” With the following recommendations, the Helmholtz Open Science Office provides practical assistance to Helmholtz researchers in the open publication of their text, data, and software output.
