Open Science Timeline - Invitation to contribute

In the framework of the “Open Science in History. From Enlightenment to Artificial Intelligence” conference, which will take place in Bern on November 21st, the CRAFT-OA project together with the conference organisers are creating a community-curated timeline of Open Science.

Why this timeline?

  • To share collaboratively different perspectives and standpoints on Open Access

  • To include actors and actions that may otherwise be forgotten

How will it be used?

The timeline will be printed in a graphical format and displayed to serve as a basis for collaboration during the “Open Science in History” conference and further in-person events. The updated timeline and the comments will be made public after the conference.

Timeline structure and scope

  • Any kind of event that has affected open science at the local, national or international level

  • Each event is broadly categorised by: actors; areas; scope of impact

How can I contribute online?

  • Open the spreadsheet and read through its contents (you cannot edit directly the document; but you can add comments)

  • Up to November 5th, use this Google Form to add a row to the sheet (Most questions are optional, including your name and affiliation; please note that information shared in the google form will be immediately public!)

We thank you in advance for your contributions.

I have a lot to add to this timeline. May I have writing privileges?

Hello Jean-Claude, normally you should be able to add your contribution via the form: Open Science Timeline . You can also view and comment on the spreadsheet (but not edit it): Open Science Timeline - Google Sheets . If its not working, please let me know. All the best, Léa

Thank you very much (merci beaucoup if you are Francophone, which I suspect).
