Abstract
When we ask people what open science is, we typically receive a broad variety of responses, ranging from “it’s about making sure people can read your papers for free (open access)” to “you have to make your data available (RDM)” to “that’s really complicated to describe”. The truth is that open science is all of these things and more, but it is not necessarily complicated.
In this lecture, we present the Heliocentric Model Open Science Documentation as a model that clearly and quickly describes the transition in the dissemination of scientific information we are currently experiencing. We then delve into the the real questions involving the pragmatics of adopting open science as the paradigm for scientific practice. As such, we discuss implementation of the two primary functions of an open scientific knowledge base: comprehension and documentation. For comprehension, we present science reading as evidence-based pedagogy developed specifically to teach how to reconstruct scientific processes from available documentation. For documentation, we introduce the concept of problem arcs as a general structuring mechanism, inherent to human cognition, as a means to accurately and usefully document the problem solving and decision making involved in completing scientific processes.

“We‘re implementing a theory driven open science practice at Jülich. This is both challenging and very exciting, as we move towards providing researchers at Jülich with a cohesive vision of how open science can benefit their scientific work as well as society at large,” says Monica Gonzalez-Marquez, who is responsible for the planning and implementation of open science activities of Jülich’s Central Library.
