Student and Early Career Blue Sky Workshop: Preparing for the Future of Scholarly Communication: An Open Science Primer for Communication Scholars

Session Submission Type: Meeting

Abstract

If, as danah boyd recently wrote, our profession has a “deep commitment … to giving back knowledge,” it must also be committed to embracing the current cultural shift towards open science. However, while the concept of open science is generally accepted as a vague ideal, researchers are often not sure about exactly what it means, why they should care about it, and how they can practice it. This Blue Sky Workshop offers an expert-led roundtable discussion on how to become a better, more open communication scholar.
