Overview
What is Open Scholarship?
Open Scholarship pulls together various open movements designed to share research for the public good such as open access, open data, digital scholarship, open source, open education/open pedagogy, community engaged work, public scholarship, and citizen science.
What is Digital Scholarship?
Digital Scholarship is any scholarly activity that makes extensive use of digital media and tools for teaching and research. These include, but are not limited to, new forms of collaboration, new forms of publication, and new methods for visualizing and analyzing data.
What is the Open Scholarship Commons?
The Open Scholarship Commons (OSC) harnesses digital scholarship in service to the collective benefits of open scholarship. It is an innovative, community engaged, and interdisciplinary space for knowledge creation and mobilization in service of open scholarship. Specifically, the OSC brings knowledge creation services together in a one-stop shop. Currently the OSC is a virtual space but will later be physically located on the first floor of Suzzallo Library. Services include one on one consultations and workshops on:
-
