Open Science means for instance open release of data, code, protocols, teaching material, publications, and the promotion of principles of openness, inclusivity and transparency in scientific research.
The OKF Finland Open Science Working Group is a community for open science enthusiasts. We believe that open sharing of research data, code, protocols, teaching material, publications, and other resources, and supporting citizen science will improve transparency, quality and impact of research. We advocate standards of openness in Finnish academia and interactions between academic institutions and wider society and seek involvement from all stakeholders to foster a core community of open science supporters in academia and beyond.
Avoimen tieteen työryhmä edistää avointen toimintamallien omaksumista tutkimuksessa erityisesti kotimaassa. Uskomme, että tutkimusaineistojen, lähdekoodin, julkaisujen, opetusmateriaalien ja muiden tutkimusresurssien avoimuus edistää tieteen läpinäkyvyyttä, laatua ja vaikuttavuutta yhteiskunnassa. Tuemme avoimeen tieteeseen kytkeytyviä hankkeita ja toivotamme tervetulleiksi tutkijat, opiskelijat, tutkimusrahoittat, julkaisijat ja tieteestä kiinnostuneet kansalaiset rakentamaan yhteisöä ja edistämään avoimen tieteen käytäntöjä tutkimuksessa ja yhteiskunnassa.

OPPIMATERIAALIPOHDINTAA 19.3.2013 ip (Sitra)
I keep six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who.
I send them over land and sea,
I send them east and west;
But after they have worked for me,
I give them all a rest.
I let them rest from nine till five,
For I am busy then,
As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea,
For they are hungry men.
But different folk have different views;
I know a person small—
She keeps ten million serving-men,
Who get no rest at all!
She sends’em abroad on her own affairs,
From the second she opens her eyes—
One million Hows, two million Wheres,
And seven million Whys!
