Science Editor and Publisher, vol. 9, pp. 96–99

Abstract

The information environment of scientific research requires fundamental changes. Decisionmaking and research assessment cannot be based on opaque and non-inclusive information anymore. The signatories of the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information have taken responsibility for transforming how research information is created and used. Openness of information should become a new standard in science. This introduction aims to provide a brief overview of the Barcelona Declaration, including its context, aims, motivations, and potential challenges for implementation.
