This is excellent, thanks so much, @katjamatic! I'll begin editing it in here to the existing history section to make sure that we have covered all of this. |

Nice idea! So one thing I already have done is created a Zenodo community for archiving all MOOC content here: https://zenodo.org/communities/open-science-mooc/ For each release of each module, we push it to Zenodo and it gets a versioned DOI and indexed for re-use. Each 'Main' document is also available as a PDF/HTML/Jupyter notebook format, and I can convert them to over things like epub too if needed. Is this the sort of thing you meant @johav? :) |

@katjamatic did you have a chance to add in this final paragraph yet? No worries if not! |

oups, sorry,
I guess it would be better to move the pic a bit further below under
"....However,
the origins can probably go back even further to the very birth of
scholarly practices. Much of what we know about our world and universe has
foundations in fundamental openness, from evolution and the origin of
species, through to gravity and the origins of stars.", and then add it to
the following paragraph, which I cannot add directly at the moment since i
am on my mobile...

The technical foundations for Open Science were growing out of the
international e-science, e-research, or development of distributed learning
and knowledge production scene (REF). Historically this started with the
development of time sharing and distributed computing (REF). The free and
open software movement is also closely related to developments of Open
Science (REF). On the other hand the concept of "knowledge commons" -
collectively created and owned knowledge managed by a community - is traced
back by Hess and Ostrom (REF) both to the idea of the "Intangible commons
of the mind" (REF), which opposes increasing privatization of knowledge,
and to the idea of shared spaces for free speech and democratic collective
action (REF).
…---- already now could come the text about Robert Merton -------- which
could be contrasted with Ziman (2000)'s critique of "post-academic"
science. -----
Ziman (2000) constates a shift away from Merton's norms. Due to increased
economic interests, optimization of industrial research procedures,
overbureaucratization, we nowadays find an ethos that is more linked to the
following aspects:
Post-Academic Science: Ziman 2000
•P proprietarian ( IP, business opportunity)
•L local: related to local network of stakeholders
•A authoritarian: hierarchical control
•C commissioned (researcher is ’consultant’)
•E expert: role is problem-solver
Ziman states that “science is becoming a too large and expensive
enterprise. Governments are putting strict financial ceilings on their
patronage and are trying to get better value for their money”. In this
context, researchers are required to be more accountable, responsive to
societal need and concerned with the impact of their product in economic
and social terms." (REF)
-------Then continue with just briefly saying something like this:-----
However, the communal aspect of knowledge production in science and
research has been inspired by many other open cultures of collaboration and
sharing, such as open government data, and cultural heritage just to name a
few. Open Cultures have developed in the last decades often in parallel but
also overlapping. Open Science is thus embedded firmly in a manifold open
movement....

Looks great, @katjamatic, thanks! Fills in a nice spot. No worries about the delays at all. If you can edit the text directly, that would be great, as it would ensure appropriate automatic credit for you. If not, I can wait for the refs and then edit this in after. |

Hi @katjamatic, just bumping this again to keep on your radar in case it fell off :) |

Hi!
Here are some things that could be included for the first part - super short intro to the historical dimension of OS. (next a paragraph on open cultures)
---snip---
The commitment to opening Science to make it more transparent and accessible is nothing new. For some historians of science openness marks the beginning of science itself: with the printing press, the rise of publication markets and empirical methods in the early modern period came both the professionalization of scientists and the institutionalization of the Academies (David 2008).
Today's Open Science movement dates about 30-40 years back to the 1970s and takes inspiration both from the history of "open source" [Kelty 2008] and the ideas developed for research collaboration in the context of "e-science" [Wouters and Beaulieu 2006]. At a first glance these approaches refer mainly to the technological dimension of opening up science by creating necessary tools and infrastructures.
Opening up science often takes the form of a technological liberation and change of techniques in respective discourses. However, keeping in mind that science and technology "are politics by other means" [Latour 1987] - offering other means of power - it is vital to turn to the embedded politics of Open Science and its precursors.
