The research landscape is complex, and different actors have different options to help with a systemic move towards open science.

Research service providers

  • provide research service
  • interact with researchers
  • help administrate financial, legal, ethical, technical and other aspects of research
  • help communicate research
  • do many other things

In this thread, I would like us to explore which options research service providers have to encourage open science in-house as well as in the communities and other stakeholders they interact with.

If you have multiple ideas for concrete actions, I suggest to post them as separate answers (rather than as one monolithic answer), so as to facilitate the discussion and refinement of your ideas.

Charge for services they provide, not for content created by others.

Serve open projects for free, charge non-open ones. An example of such an approach is the pricing policy of GitHub, one of the major platforms for collaborative software development:

GitHub is free to use for public and open source projects. Work together across unlimited private repositories with a paid plan.

Some more details are available here.

Ask Open Science used to be called Open Science Q&A but we changed the name when we registered the domain ask-open-science.org. Everything else stays the same: We are still hosted by Bielefeld University Library.
