Five priorities emerged from those summaries for the roundtable to consider that could help bring incentive structures into alignment with open science practices: 1. Ensure researchers have the guidance, training, and resources to fully participate in open science practices.

This can be mitigated through proactive measures such as aligning the effort with clear incentives for researchers, leveraging existing institutional infrastructure to socialize and support new norms, and coordinating with funders and professional societies to develop discipline-specific guidance. The roundtable should work to systematically ensure scientists, especially those working at universities, are aware of the available resources at their disposal, on campus and beyond, said Derrick Anderson of Arizona State University.

One way to promote open science could be to host workshops with academic consortia, such as the Big Ten Academic Alliance. Boyana Konforti of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute reiterated the importance and role of university leaders embracing open science, noting that broader communication with faculty and administrators at the college level is needed to link the movement with policies.

Several breakout session participants encouraged the roundtable to lean into the building blocks that already exist in open science -- for example, elevating success stories, supporting faculty champions, leveraging the role of libraries, and broadly disseminating toolkits. As Fitzpatrick and Farley noted, the roundtable can expand on existing efforts to share best practices to further promote open science.

Broadly disseminating promising practices that have been adopted by professional societies, such as the Linguistic Society of America, American Geophysical Union, and Council of Graduate Departments of Psychology, among others, could encourage others to follow suit. Bourg agreed, adding that the roundtable should work closely with societies to move to open and overcome real and perceived barriers in this area.

There is also a need for concrete financial support for open leaders through salaries, additional capacity, and funding, as stated by Gibson and other participants. However, as Konforti noted, despite these initial costs, the larger benefits of open science, such as contributing to research on social justice issues and accelerating scientific discovery, should be communicated more broadly.
