Open notebook scienceFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaOpen notebook science is the practice of making the entire primary record of a research project publicly available online as it is recorded. This involves placing the personal, or laboratory, notebook of the researcher online along with all raw and processed data, and any associated material, as this material is generated. The approach may be summed up by the slogan 'no insider information'. It is the logical extreme of transparent approaches to research and explicitly includes the making available of failed, less significant, and otherwise unpublished experiments; so called 'dark data'.[1] The practice of open notebook science, although not the norm in the academic community, has gained significant recent attention in the research[2][3] and general[1][4] media as part of a general trend towards more open approaches in research practice and publishing. Open notebook science can therefore be described as part of a wider open science movement that includes the advocacy and adoption of open access publication, open data, crowdsourcing data, and citizen science. It is inspired in part by the success of open-source software[5] and draws on many of its ideas

HistoryThe term "open notebook science"[6] was first used in 2006 in a blog post by Jean-Claude Bradley, an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Drexel University

Reflections on Teaching Chemistry in the Open

http://drexel-coas-elearning.blogspot.com/

Jean-Claude Bradley was one of the most influential open scientists of our time. He was an innovator in all that he did, from Open Education to bleeding edge Open Science; in 2006, he coined the phrase Open Notebook Science. His loss is felt deeply by friends and colleagues around the world

"The open-science movement isn't trying to convert everyone. It's another way of approaching science that complements intellectual property. It's about adding options, not removing ones that already exist."

Jean-Claude Bradley, C&E News, February 9, 2009

And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.

Jean-Claude- Showing us all a different way of sharing science

The academic ladder in chemistry is taught early. Amongst the traditional teachings is that one competes with others to climb it, and this is done by protecting one's science and ideas, not sharing its outcomes with others until "the publication" is ready. And don't waste time on such frivolous activities. Jean-Claude showed it need not be like this. That there was another way that could benefit all of science, whilst simultaneously bringing credit to yourself and your department. Many would say that is a brave thing to do if you do not have an established reputation, when your tenure is still on the line. Jean-Claude was such a brave academic. It is up to others, not just of his generation, but both older and younger, to continue to push for science to be open. He helped start that revolution, others must now continue it.
