New from ACRL - “The Open Science Cookbook”

CHICAGO – The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) announces the publication of "The Open Science Cookbook," edited by Emily Bongiovanni, Melanie Gainey, Chasz Griego, and Lencia McKee, a collection of lesson plans and activities for supporting openly accessible, reproducible research.

Open science promotes more transparent, accessible, and reproducible research and extends beyond the sciences, fostering this inclusivity across all disciplines. There are many benefits to practicing open science, including opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration, increased visibility and impact, and enhanced reusability of research.

"The Open Science Cookbook" provides a wide variety of lesson plans and learning activities for supporting collaborative, transparent, openly accessible, and reproducible research. In five sections, it has something for beginners to more advanced practitioners and for different audience sizes.

• Program Development
• Instruction
• Outreach
• Events
• Collaborations and Partnerships

Just as freely sharing data and workflows enables key breakthroughs in major fields, sharing open science practices and resources creates an even stronger foundation for this necessary growth at institutions around the world. "The Open Science Cookbook" offers innovative ways for academic libraries to promote open science through advocacy and education.

“The Open Science Cookbook” is available for purchase in print through the ALA Online Store and Amazon.com; by telephone order at (800) 621-2736 or (773) 702-7010; and as an open access edition.
