Early career researchers and others advancing open science in China
The Chinese Open Science Network (COSN,) is a grassroots network for promoting open science practices and awareness of reproducibility in the Chinese-speaking community, led by and aiming to serve early career researchers. Since its inaugural event in 2016, COSN has organized three in-person workshops, 55 journal club sessions, 58 talks, 16 tutorials and 2 hackathons and has translated 15 English articles and blogs pertaining to open science into Chinese.
With close collaboration with the Center for Open Science and other open science communities, as well as national and subnational open science platform providers in China such as the National Science Library of Chinese Academy of Sciences (NSL-CAS), COSN is building an online Chinese-speaking open science community, so that early career researchers in China can engage more in open science practices alongside their international counterparts. As of 2023, the COSN’s official WeChat account had more than 26,000 subscribers,more than 1,000 researchers and students actively participate in the discussions on open science.
