[The Royal Society Science Policy Centre report 02/12] Science as an open enterprise

This report highlights the need to grapple with the huge deluge of data created by modern technologies in order to preserve the principle of openness and to exploit data in ways that have the potential to create a second open science revolution.

Exploring massive amounts of data using modern digital technologies has enormous potential for science and its application in public policy and business. The report maps out the changes that are required by scientists, their institutions and those that fund and support science if this potential is to be realised.

The Royal Society Science Policy Centre report 02/12 - Science as an enterprise shows that plenty of scientists have long been campaigning for a shift to open science.

According to Neelie Kroes, Vice President of the European Commision, sharing and cooperation are essential to science, as well as the idea to make access to scientific information more affordable.
