Year of Open Science 2023
Celebrating the benefits and successes of open science
The White House Office of Science and Technology has marked this year as the Year of Open Science to advance national open science policies across the federal government in 2023. As a great proponent of Open Science, IOP Publishing has brought together a series of interviews with researchers from North American institutions to hear about their work and why they have published open access through a transformative agreement. Transformative agreements enable researchers to publish their work openly for anyone to read at no cost to them because the costs of publishing are paid directly by their university.
