"Ten simple rules for cultivating open science and collaborative R&D"

How can we address the complexity and cost of applying science to societal challenges?

Open science and collaborative R&D may help. Open science has been described as "a research accelerator." Open science implies open access but goes beyond it: "Imagine a connected online web of scientific knowledge that integrates and connects data, computer code, chains of scientific reasoning, descriptions of open problems, and beyond ... tightly integrated with a scientific social web that directs scientists' attention where it is most valuable, releasing enormous collaborative potential."

Open science and collaborative approaches are often described as open-source, by analogy with open-source software such as the operating system Linux which powers Google and Amazon — collaboratively created software which is free to use and adapt, and popular for internet infrastructure and scientific research.
