Open science is the movement to make research and its dissemination accessible to all. Its practices facilitate reproducible and reusable knowledge that is shared and developed through collaborative networks. At the heart of open science is the belief that an open exchange of ideas accelerates scientific progress and creates a more inclusive research ecosystem. In a panel discussion and breakout sessions, community leaders, researchers and librarians will share their perspectives on open science, its benefits and issues, and the role of health sciences libraries and the medical librarian in realizing its goals. The session will also focus on the role of open science in light of current events, specifically the COVID-19 pandemic, systemic racism, and social justice for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color).

Panel presentation
The panel to start this session will address what we mean by “Open Science” with panelists that reflect expertise and perspectives on different aspects of open science and the role of libraries.
