Interested in open science?

[Stefano Costa]

I'm forwarding this because it may be relevant for the many of those who
are involved in Open Access for Archaeology.

from the Science Commons Blog [1]:

        Interested in open science?

        If so, there’s a new discussion list [2] you may want to join,
        brought to you by the good folks at the Open Knowledge
        Foundation.
       
        Writes OKF’s Jonathan Gray:
       
                As far as we could tell, there wasn’t a general mailing
                list for people interested in open science. Hence the
                new list aims to cover this gap, and to strengthen and
                consolidate the open science community.
               
                We hope it will be a relatively low volume list for
                relevant announcements, questions and notes. We also
                hope to get as full as possible representation from the
                open science community — so please forward this to
                anyone you think might be interested to join!

Surely open is a founding principle of science? IP issues aside, a scientific "discovery" must be founded on reproducible experiments and the results of the experiments so far carried in out in testing the theory. Always been the weak point in archaeology's science armour, reproducibility. And come to think of it, providing the raw results of the work already done is not so popular either :)
