Science Redefined as Open Software

The future of scientific research began to import with open source philosophy. The researchers discuss a new model that needs to be replaced by the traditional broadcasting system: science, software-based, transparent and should be taken as a system where everyone can access.

This approach contains several important principles:

-Data and code opening: All data sets and algorithms are open to be reprosection of research findings -**: Monitoring the evolutional development of research with git-like systems

  • ** Democratization of peer review**: Validation by community instead of closed journal editors
  • Lisansation freedom: The results can be used without commercial restrictions -Long term maintenance: Update research documentation such as software warehouses

The open science model can accelerate scientific discovery and remove access barriers for institutions with less resources. If the open source in technology industry has accelerated innovation, the same transformation can occur in science field.

This change is increasingly supported by thought leaders. A research ecosystem based on structured, transparent and cooperation means the publicization of scientific progress.
