Facilitating infrastructure for open science

Empowering science communities with open, democratic, researcher-owned infrastructure.

We’re building communities and tech for publishing, curating, sharing, and discussing research online using ATProto and other decentralized protocols.

Open Science Foundation

Advancing science through openness

Center for Open Science

At the Center for Open Science, our mission is to increase openness, integrity, and reproducibility of scholarly research. Promoting these practices within the research funding and publishing communities accelerates scientific progress

Open Science Network

Reclaim scientific discourse with federated digital spaces where researchers shape their own conversations, data, and collaborations

Continuous Science Foundation | Transform Science Together—Get Involved

Explore how the Continuous Science Foundation promotes open, continuous, and collaborative scientific research through innovative tools, standards, and community support.

Introduction to Open Science

This course introduces the principles and practices of open science, with an emphasis on reproducible research workflows, transparent reporting, and collaborative scholarship. Students will critically examine reproducibility, explore tools that support openness (such as Git, GitHub, and Quarto), and apply these tools in hands-on assignments and a final open project. Students will also explore how open science practices vary across disciplines, including education, humanities, social sciences, industry and government, and STEM contexts. This course emphasizes applying open science principles to real-world data problems in alignment with the principles of producing reproducible research.

Building Collective Intelligence Networks for Flourishing Scientific Communities

Scientific communities are straining under mounting challenges—knowledge fragmentation, outdated publication processes, institutional erosion and funding cuts—that threaten our capacity to address urgent global problems. Traditional scientific process

Improving scientific mentorship with "Open Labs" — science better

Open Labs would be a place for experienced scientists to post their open questions and curiosities — a list of the ideas they don't have time to pursue personally but wish someone would.

Open Science Needs Open Compute

Why independent science will depend on compute, not just funding, and why providing it is the best bet we can currently make.

Open Systems Foundation

Building open infrastructure for a thriving planet.
