... According to a 2018 National Academies report, open science "aims to ensure the free availability and usability of scholarly publications, the data that result from scholarly research, and the methodologies, including code or algorithms that were used to generate those data."1 With the Roundtable coming to the end of its initial phase, a virtual workshop, held December 7, 2021, provided an opportunity to review lessons learned over the past 3 years and discuss next steps for Roundtable members, the National Academies, and others interested in advancing open science and open scholarship.

... "One of the challenges in germinating change is that the problems are big and they involve different groups," he recognized. It is easy for one group to say that its individual action will not solve the problem, and then no one acts and nothing happens, he noted, adding, "the connective tissue strategy that the Roundtable can undertake is an essential part of moving past that kind of blockade." EXTENDING THE WORK OF THE ROUNDTABLE "IN THE WILD" The publication Developing a Toolkit for Fostering Open Science Practices: Proceedings of a Workshop was formally released several weeks prior to the workshop, explained Tananbaum, and the toolkit it contains is designed to help stakeholders move from thinking and talking about open science to doing and implementing it.

... AHA also shared the primer with other members of the Health Research Alliance. Orland explained that preprints are explicitly encouraged for AHA awardees before or alongside the formal peer-review process.6 AHA's grant management system now allows preprints to be entered any place in an application that publication information is requested, which Orland noted is of particular benefit to early-career investigators.

... 8 OSPO++ is "a network and a community of collaborative open source program offices in universities, governments, and civic institutions. We're building resources to help create OSPOs, actively engaging in discussions on how to best manage and grow open source programs, and how to garden sustainable communities that last."

... The Chief Science Data Officer set up the Open Source Science Initiative to enable open source science in NASA SMD. Crawford clarified that Open Source Science builds on concepts from open source software, applied to the scientific process to accelerate discovery from project initiation through implementation.

... will begin in 2022, with heightened visibility beginning in 2023, which NASA has designated the Year of Open Science. TOPS will increase understanding and adoption of open science principles and techniques in SMD mission and research communities; accelerate major scientific discoveries through supporting the adoption of open science; and broaden participation in the science by historically excluded communities.17 Opportunities include building on training materials, supporting open science in policy and solicitations, and creating clear guidance on licenses and how to share publications, data, and software.

... Kalil reflected on the progress on open science reported by presenters but also echoed the concern to foresee and avoid unintended consequences. Yamamoto commented on the inspiration that came from the discussions.
