Open-notebook science is the practice of making the entire primary record of a research project publicly available online as it is recorded. This involves placing the personal, or laboratory, notebook of the researcher online along with all raw and processed data, and any associated material, as this material is generated.
Open science is the movement to make scientific research (including publications, data, physical samples, and software) and its dissemination accessible to all levels of society, amateur or professional. [2] [3] Open science is transparent and accessible knowledge that is shared and developed through collaborative networks. [4]
The Open Notebook was founded as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization by freelance science journalists Siri Carpenter and Jeanne Erdmann. [1]Initially, its sole purpose was to publish "story-behind-the-story" interviews with journalists about the genesis and development of specific published pieces of science journalism.
An electronic lab notebook (also known as electronic laboratory notebook, or ELN) is a computer program designed to replace paper laboratory notebooks. Lab notebooks in general are used by scientists , engineers , and technicians to document research , experiments , and procedures performed in a laboratory.
The term is frequently used to distinguish this aspect of Open Science from the related but rather independent developments commonly labeled as open source, open access, open data and so forth. The openness of the notebook, then, specifically refers to the set of the following points, or elements thereof:
Projects that provide open data but don't offer open collaboration are referred to as "open access" rather than open research. Providing open data is a necessary but not sufficient condition for open research, because although the data may be used by anyone, there is no requirement for subsequent research to take place openly .
Jean-Claude Bradley was a chemist who actively promoted Open Science in chemistry, [4] [5] including at the White House, [6] for which he was awarded the Blue Obelisk award in 2007. [1] [7] He coined the term "Open Notebook science". He died in May 2014. [2] [8] A memorial symposium was held July 14, 2014 at Cambridge University, UK. [9]
The Open Notebook Science Challenge is a crowdsourcing research project which collects measurements of the non-aqueous solubility of organic compounds and publishes these as open data; findings are reported in an open notebook science manner. Although anyone may contribute research data, the competition is only open to post-secondary students ...
