Grassroots Pathways in Open Science Practice: Lessons from Psychology science and Brain Science

Abstract: Open science enables the effective sharing and full utilization of scientific resources, reshapes research practice and academic culture, while its overall development remains in an initial stage. Taking psychology science and brain science as examples, this paper examines the grassroots open science movement initiated to enhance research credibility and scientific rigor. Such efforts promote open science practices throughout the entire research workflow, and led interdisciplinary open science actions and cultural construction. The paper further analyzes the driving factors behind the thriving open science in this field and provides suggestions for the development of Chinese open science.
