Open Science: Welcome to the amazing universe of accessibility, transparency, reusability & interoperability
The concept of Open Science is indeed a fascinating one. Open Science makes your research results available to everyone interested. Imagine Jack designs and creates a pen (blue, red & black), which he puts on the market. Everybody has a material to write with if they want to scribble down something. Now, let's say John, a technology enthusiast and creator, comes up with an idea to create a pen that actually writes all the rainbow colors in one ink, just imagine!
