Open Science in Action Stories

What is an open science story that inspired you? Tell us!

Is there an open science story that made you say, “I need to get involved?” Do you remember a story about the impact of NASA open data, open-source software, or open publications on science? How has open science enabled scientific breakthroughs? Tell us about it! 

NASA's Transform to Open Science (TOPS) mission is seeking compelling stories about open science using NASA funded research in practice. To help transform NASA's scientific processes to open science, we need to provide compelling and relatable examples that show how open science creates more impactful, efficient, inclusive science. By collecting these stories, we can start showing scientists how open science can help them.

We are looking for big, awe-inspiring stories about open data, open-source software, open results and open access, and the use of openly available tools and NASA funded research for scientific practice. For example, these stories could be about projects that utilize large amounts of NASA collected data, utilizing code on an open-source repository, or about citizen scientists working together to identify constellations, clouds, or coral.

Examples can be found here.
