Still today (2018), research papers remain locked behind expensive paywalls and critical research data remains hidden away on hard-drives, methods remain scantly documented, research results cannot be reproduced, and researchers are often evaluated on senseless criteria [refs for all these claims]. These are just some examples of typical practices that contribute to what might be viewed as 'closed science'; or bad (unethical) scientific practices.

Open Science is about changing these research practices through a cultural/paradigm shift. This shift in research culture is often referred to as the [**Scholarly Commons**](https://www.force11.org/group/scholarly-commons-working-group), which seeks to explore and redefine what a modern scholarly communication ecosystem should look like. (See also the [Principles of the Commons](https://www.force11.org/scholarly-commons/principles). Accomplishing a cultural shift on a global scale is mainly done through the spread of shared cultural norms and values that are interpreted and celebrated in hundreds of local institutions: in your department, school, laboratory, university, professional association, publishing effort, open software platform developer company, funding agency, etc. Each of these organizations fits itself into the cultural practices that members decide will work for them to become active in performing the cultural work of open science. Culture change must start from the ground up. Open science principles illuminate this ground.

The power of modern web technologies enables instantaneous sharing and global collaboration in an unrestricted fashion. The digital era is transforming the way in which research is performed, and the limitations of the print era are gone. With this, new issues arise which include the complexities of knowledge capture and communication. The framing of these complexities as a 'Commons' integrates the political, social, economic, and philosophical dimensions around knowledge generation and sharing.

For example, there has been a strong focus on Open Science in the last few years in Europe, with one of the biggest developments coming from this being the [European Open Science Cloud](http://ec.europa.eu/research/openscience/index.cfm?pg=open-science-cloud) (EOSC).

Now, go to [this folder]() and upload your new blog post. Click 'Commit' and simply add a little message describing what you have done. For now, don't worry too much about using GitHub, as we address that in other modules.

What this will do is notify the people who are part of the core MOOC team that a new file has been uploaded. As soon as we 'accept' the new file, just like magic, it will automatically render [here] on the main Open Science MOOC website! How cool is that?

Now, all you have to do is share it. If you use Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, GooglePlus, Instagram or whatever, make sure to share your work widely. Let people know what Open Science means to you!
