  • [GC4] Open Science
    A distinguible feature of the current approach to geocomputation is the emphasis on openness: open science, open source, open data. All of this propelled by a vibrant collaborative community with the aim to develop open and reproducible methods, tools and applications applied to a variety of real-life, spatio-temporal application domains. Open Science is a paradigm that can be applied to any scientific discipline and area of ​​knowledge, characterised by openness, access to large volumes of data and unprecedented levels of computing power, availability of community-driven tools, and new types of collaboration between multidisciplinary researchers. Open Science clearly goes beyond geocomputation, but at the same time, its practices and principles characterise recent geocomputation-related projects as well as its community. Therefore, the vision of Open Science taken here is contextualised to the field of geocomputation.
