2023 is the Year of Open Science, a NASA initiative to spark change and inspire open science engagement through events and activities that will shift the current paradigm and change practices. The Transform to Open Science (TOPS) community coordinates efforts designed to rapidly transform agencies, organizations, and communities. Learn more about NASA's Year of Open Science activities here.
We would like to give a special thank you to organizations that participated with us in a Year of Open Science.
- Area 1: Engagement: Building community, publishing articles, appearing on podcasts, expanding knowledge about open science, integrating Open Science into themes at large-scale events and conferences.
- Area 2: Capacity sharing: Producing online, free, open science curriculum, hosting workshops, events, cohorts, science team meetings, hackathons, and constructing multiple pathways to an Open Science Badge.
- Area 3: Incentives: Developing Open Science Badge/Certification and establishing high profile awards in support of open science research.
- Area 4: Moving towards openness: Recognizing open science practices, holding open meetings, and sharing hidden knowledge.
Please join the TOPS email list to hear about further activities and become more involved! Discussions are enabled for this GitHub repository, so feel free to ask questions or join conversations there.
For a preview of our content from our email list, feel free to read our past newsletter releases.
This repository is used to openly share information about TOPS and the Year of Open Science.
Markdown text documents are used for any planning documents that need to be developed. This could include linking to other resources. TOPS has few mechanisms for enabling the community to interact with this material:
Issues: Used to collect action items for TOPS to review and implement into the repository.
Pull Requests: Enables changes to Markdown code to be proposed through a fork of our repository. TOPS will review and merge these changes with consideration to the code of conduct.
Forks: Allows users to clone the TOPS repository and make changes before creating a Pull Request.
Discussions: Provides an effective medium to interact with TOPS and the Open Science community.
For a more detailed guide on how to use these mechanisms, check out our contribution guidelines here.
There is a possibility that your question has been asked before. We have collected frequently asked questions here.
