Our mission

We are a grassroots community dedicated to making research more impactful by fostering open and reproducible practices. We provide a space to engage, connect, inspire and support each other.

Our goals

• Transform research culture: embedding open and reproducible science into everyday research practices, improving research quality and integrity.
• Break down barriers and offer incentives: creating a supportive environment and offering recognition for researchers to make the transition to open and reproducible science happen.
• Foster sharing of best practices: promoting knowledge exchange and mutual learning, stimulating open and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Our values

• Openness and FAIRness: we are dedicated to making knowledge and data accessible, ensuring that everything we produce can be easily found, used, and built upon by others around the world.

• Quality and rigour: our community is committed to high-quality, reproducible research, ensuring that science is transparent, thoroughly scrutinized, and built on reliable, verifiable methods.
• Diversity, equity, and inclusiveness: we actively cultivate a welcoming and equitable environment where every individual, regardless of background, can contribute, feel valued, and thrive in our community.
• Impact and recognition: the community strives to have a meaningful impact on science and society, recognizing that every contribution —big or small—toward openness and reproducibility helps push research forward.
