生态学领域准备利用新兴技术，促进数据，方法和结果的收集，分析和共享。在研究过程的所有阶段都要透明，加上对数据、代码和论文的自由和开放访问，构成了“开放科学”。尽管开放的科学方法有许多好处，但存在一些进入障碍，可能会阻止研究人员在自己的工作中接受开放。在这里，我们描述了几个关键的思维转变，这些转变支撑了向更开放的科学的过渡。这些思维方式的转变包括考虑数据管理而不是数据所有权，在整个数据生命周期和项目持续时间内拥抱透明度，并接受公开批评。虽然这些想法的改变一开始是陌生的，也许是令人恐惧的，但通过促进合议和扩大对数据和发现的访问，这些想法的改变有利于生态学领域。我们提出了一个工具和最佳实践的概述，可以在研究过程的每个阶段实现这些思维方式的转变，包括支持数据管理规划和可重复分析的工具，在整个研究过程中征求建设性反馈的策略，以及扩大最终研究产品访问的方法。
The field of ecology is poised to take advantage of emerging technologies that facilitate the gathering, analyzing, and sharing of data, methods, and results. The concept of transparency at all stages of the research process, coupled with free and open access to data, code, and papers, constitutes "open science.'' Despite the many benefits of an open approach to science, a number of barriers to entry exist that may prevent researchers from embracing openness in their own work. Here we describe several key shifts in mindset that underpin the transition to more open science. These shifts in mindset include thinking about data stewardship rather than data ownership, embracing transparency throughout the data life-cycle and project duration, and accepting critique in public. Though foreign and perhaps frightening at first, these changes in thinking stand to benefit the field of ecology by fostering collegiality and broadening access to data and findings. We present an overview of tools and best practices that can enable these shifts in mindset at each stage of the research process, including tools to support data management planning and reproducible analyses, strategies for soliciting constructive feedback throughout the research process, and methods of broadening access to final research products.
