Welcome to the Open Science Communities Toolkit

This toolkit provides information and resources to kick-start or upskill your Open Science Community (OSC).

It is organised along the 4 stages of an OSC:

The four stages of developing an Open Science Community

The Toolkit includes:

  1. Ten steps to launch your OSC
  2. Template to create your OSC Master Plan
  3. Worked examples, best practices and resources shared by OSCs in our network

The information in this toolkit is based on over 8 year of experience of The International Network of Open Science and Scholarship Communities (INOSC). Our network consists of over 2500 scholars and researchers located in 50 bottom up, local OSCs around the globe, where people get together to learn how to put Open Science to practice.

Together, we unlock science!
