NISO Tech Summit: Reflections Upon The Year of Open Science - Day One

Description

In January of 2023, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) launched a significant milestone in the science and technology arena when it unveiled the Year of Open Science. As we approached the conclusion of this pivotal year, NISO’s Technology Summit brought this topic center stage to reflect on this multi-agency endeavor and its far-reaching impacts.



The summit constructively critiqued the role of technology and supporting organizations in either facilitating or impeding the progress toward open science. We considered which existing systems were prepared to embrace the declaration’s ideals and which required new implementations. Furthermore, we explored how library and publishing communities seized the opportunity presented by the Year of Open Science and how we could collectively strive for improvement.



The Summit is being organizations with the insights and perspective of a thoughtful and experienced committee, including:



Sayeed Choudhury, Associate Dean, Digital Infrastructure & Director, Open Source Programs Office, Carnegie-Mellon University

Maurice Coleman, Principal, Coleman & Associates

Peter Murray, Library Technologist, Index Data

Christine Smith, Director, Product Operations, Altum
