Assembly Series - Improving openness and reproducibility in scholarly communication

Shifting the scholarly culture toward open access, open data, and open workflow is partly an incentives problem, partly an infrastructure problem, and partly a coordination problem.  The Center for Open Science (COS; http://cos.io/) is a non-profit technology and culture change organization working on all three.  The central components of COS’s strategy are [1] fostering a commercial environment that monetizes on service delivery, not controlling access to content, [2] providing free, open, public goods infrastructure that scholarly communities brand and operate based on their local norms, and [3] coordinating across disciplinary and stakeholder silos to align scholarly practices with scholarly values.
