Did you know that the Internet and the World Wide Web were both originally designed for research purposes? Researchers wanted a fast, easy, and low-cost way for sharing data with each other, and hence the Internet was born. Now, the Internet dominates almost all aspects of our daily lives, and has deviated from this original purpose. Yet, from this, science seems to have gone backwards compared to every other enterprise - Open Science is the movement to bring modern research into line with this original digital intent.

Welcome to Module 1 of the Open Science MOOC: Open Principles. This is the first of 10 core modules to give you a solid grounding in all things Open Science. This module has been developed [in the open](https://github.com/OpenScienceMOOC/Module-1-Open-Principles) through collaboration by an international team of [Open Science wizards](#Development_team).

The term 'Open Science' has not yet a universally accepted definition, but usually refers to one core theme: **Increasing knowledge availability as a public good**, typically with critical research aspects such as credibility, reproducibility, and verifiability thrown in in some combination.

The term 'Open Science' has not yet a universally accepted definition, but usually refers to one core theme: **Increasing knowledge availability as a public good**, typically with critical research aspects such as credibility, reproducibility, and verifiability thrown in in some combination. There are many alternative terms to Open Science too, such as Open Research, Open Scholarship, Science 2.0, eScience, and here. Throughout this MOOC, we consider 'Open Science' to be fully inclusive of all of these terms, and to reflect the process of organised knowledge creation [(Bartling and Friesike, 2014)](https://github.com/OpenScienceMOOC/Module-1-Open-Principles/blob/master/Reading%20Material_Open%20Principles/Bartling%20and%20Friesike%2C%202014.pdf).
