Have you heard of open science? From open access to open data to community engaged practices and public scholarship, the open science movement is making waves across the university. It's a larger movement in academia toward making our research more transparent and accessible. This month on Amplified, I'm joined by a leading thinker on Open Science, Dr. Juan Pablo Alperin of Simon Fraser University, Canada. Juan shares his insights into the open movement, where it got started and how scholarly podcasting fits into the conversation.

Guest Bio:

Juan Pablo Alperin is an Associate Professor in the Publishing Program, the co-Scientific Director of the Public Knowledge Project, and the co-Director of the Scholarly Communications Lab. He is a multi-disciplinary scholar who uses a combination of computational techniques and traditional qualitative methods to investigate ways of raising the scientific quality, global impact, and public use of scholarly work. You can read more about Juan Pablo’s work at the ScholCommLab website https://scholcommlab.ca
