How open science helps researchers succeed

چکیده
Open access, open data, open source and other open scholarship practices are growing in popularity and necessity. However, widespread adoption of these practices has not yet been achieved.

These findings are evidence that open research practices bring significant benefits to researchers relative to more traditional closed practices.
