The Internet has brought a sea change in research production, validation, assessment and dissemination. During the meeting we will address the issue of open science as a reaction and potential solution to the crisis of scientific communication. We will explore open science approaches, common prejudices and actual benefits. We will cover topics such as rights management, reproducibility of research, predatory journals and preprints. A part of the seminar will focus on policies and tools available at our University.
