“Coordination is needed with related policy domains, including open science, which enhances transparency into research processes and outputs….
Efforts to implement open science can make more of the process and outputs of scientific research freely and readily accessible to other scientists, engineers, policymakers, students and educators, and the general public, while maintaining needed protections of national security, personal privacy, and other sensitive information. By making research publications, study data, analytical software and code, and study protocols more readily available for inspection and reuse—as Federal science agencies are currently doing—open science affords new opportunities to detect instances of interference, mischaracterization, and other policy violations. As such, open science is an essential enabler of scientific integrity….
Open science policies and practices provide transparency to help ensure that publications, data, and other outputs of Federally funded research are readily available to other researchers, innovators, students, and the public (taking into consideration legal and ethical limitations on access, such as national security and privacy)….
Facilitate free flow of scientific and technological information, by availability online in open formats and, where appropriate, including data and models underlying regulatory proposals and policy decisions…. ”
