About us
Making Open Science Practical
Open Science Asia is a scholarly infrastructure and research integrity initiative dedicated to advancing open, transparent, and globally connected scholarly communication. Through collaborative initiatives, publishing frameworks, digital infrastructure, and community engagement, we work to strengthen trust, accessibility, transparency, and the responsible dissemination of knowledge across the research ecosystem.
Operating at the intersection of research, publishing, technology, and innovation, Open Science Asia supports researchers, publishers, institutions, and scholarly communities in adopting more transparent, connected, and sustainable approaches to scholarly communication.
We believe that knowledge is a global public good — one that should be openly accessible, responsibly managed, and widely shared for the benefit of science and society.
Through research integrity initiatives, publishing standards, evaluation frameworks, scholarly infrastructure, and global collaboration, Open Science Asia aims to contribute toward a more credible, inclusive, and responsible future for scholarly communication worldwide.
Open Science Asia is a growing network of researchers, publishers, academics, editors, technologists, and open research advocates working to strengthen how knowledge is shared, evaluated, accessed, and applied across scholarly communities. Guided by global practices and regional perspectives, our initiatives focus on supporting transparent, ethical, and sustainable scholarly communication through collaboration, innovation, infrastructure development, and community engagement.
Through shared learning, partnerships, and practical implementation, we aim to contribute toward a more open, connected, and trustworthy research ecosystem.
