[CODATA-international] Open Source Science for the Earth System Observatory

Mon Jan 10 08:19:15 EST 2022

For me the use of the terms 'Open science' or 'Open research' (or 'Open
scholarship') depends on the audience and how inclusive we're trying to be.

The term 'Open science' is reasonably meaningful for STEM fields, but isn't
really inclusive of the many arts and humanities folks at academic
institutions that may be interested in open practices. 'Open
research'/'Open scholarship' is a more inclusive term I think.
