<font size="3">Wide access to scientific research results has proven to be an important tool for accelerating scientific progress. An ad hoc committee under the Board on Research
Data and Information (BRDI) conducted a study on the challenges of broadening access to the results of scientific research, described as “open science.” Ongoing advances in information technologies provide researchers with opportunities to share and access
scientific articles, research data, and methodology. Transitioning to more open science should enable increased transparency and reliability, facilitate more effective collaboration, accelerate the pace of discovery, and foster broader and more equitable
access to scientific knowledge and the research process. The committee produced a consensus report with findings and recommendations that address these issues, with a focus on solutions that move the research enterprise toward open science.<br>
