Discuss entry points

[Daniel-Mietchen]

The ongoing transition from the current system to open science has multiple dimensions, which can roughly be summed up as sharing research earlier than through the system of traditional formal publications as well as more comprehensively and more openly.

Open science means a default of sharing research

• as soon as it can be shared (technically, legally etc.);
• under open licenses.

Becoming an open scientist does not imply that everyone has to switch all of their research to entirely open in an all-at-once fashion, let alone immediately.

There are many elements of/ steps in/ precursors to open science. All of them can serve as entry points in principle, but their utility does vary with context (e.g. discipline, topic, career stage etc.).

Highlighting such entry points could be a useful feature of this 101, and it corresponds well with
#1 #2 #3.
