An interactive map to visualize more than 1,000 Open Science resources (tools, repositories, communities, guidelines, etc.) from around the world and for a globally inclusive research community. 

Sort this map by research disciplines, by Open Science principles, by language, by country and by world region.

Vision 

• The interactive map can be widely adopted by institutions around the world for quick and easy access to Open Science resources of any kind.
• The map is owned by the community with all contributors listed by name (CRedIT taxonomy) and institutions who commit to making it available as a resource to their staff and visitors.
• For sustainability purposes, revenue streams are offered on top of providing the dataset and key features free of charge to the global scientific community.

Project description 

This map contains resources per discipline across all the open science principles, including:

• Articles, commentaries, blog posts etc. highlighting established or emerging Open Science practices per discipline and research field.
• Open Access resources, including links to DOAJ and The Lens.org journal searches by discipline, discipline-specific preprint repositories, and Open Access declarations.
• Open Data including discipline-specific data repositories, The FAIR and CARE principles.
• Open Hardware communities, networks, and guidelines.
• Open Source Software packages that serve specific disciplines or research fields as well as tools and references.
• Resources and guidelines on Open Evaluation and Assessment, such as SF DORA and CoARA.
• Open Peer Review platforms and communities.
• Open Science policies and guidelines of Selected research associations, funders and other scholarly stakeholders.
• Citizen Science projects and platforms.
• Persistent identifiers relevant for publishing of manuscripts, data and code.
• References to other knowledge systems (indigenous knowledge, researchers at risk, marginalized scholars).
• Multilingual resources and those that are available in languages other than English.
