About ESA Open Science
What is open science?
Open science is the idea that the products and the process of science should be freely accessible (i.e. open) to everyone. This includes things like open educational materials, open access publications, open data, open source software/code, and open methods.
Open science isn’t an all-or-nothing type venture. We recommend starting with the aspects of open science that you (or your collaborators) are more comfortable with, and expand into other aspects as you choose.
The Ecological Society of America welcomes all ecologists, supporters and enthusiasts as members, as do our many sections and chapters. There are no restrictions on membership nor participation in our programs.
