Sharing the load: Building a collective to support open research information online

TL;DR


Summary:

• **What is Open Research?** Open research means sharing scientific discoveries and information freely online so that anyone can learn from them. Instead of keeping research locked away, scientists work together to make knowledge available to everyone, like sharing books in a library that anyone can visit.

• **Working Together as a Team** Many people and organizations are joining forces to support open research by creating websites, tools, and systems that help scientists share their work easily. When lots of people work together on the same goal, they can accomplish much more than working alone, kind of like how a team can build something bigger than one person could.
