Building Capacity for Open Science
Kaitlin Thaney discusses building capacity for open science by investing in networks of open practice and communities that sustain open activity over time. Current systems create friction despite original open intentions, but shifting practices towards openness requires supporting professional development, interoperable tools, and incentives for collaboration and sharing. Mozilla aims to empower researchers through open, collaborative research on the web.
