许多努力正在使科学更加开放和可访问;它们主要集中在实验之前和之后出现的问题上：开放获取期刊，开放数据库和许多其他工具，以增加科学的可重复性和信息的获取。然而，这些举措并没有促进获得实验所需的科学设备。主要由于资金拮据，设备供应在地球仪各地一直不均衡，主要影响到低收入国家和机构。在这里，一个案例是在研究和教育中使用免费的开源硬件，包括资金从来不是最大问题的国家和机构。
Many efforts are making science more open and accessible; they are mostly concentrated on issues that appear before and after experiments are performed: open access journals, open databases, and many other tools to increase reproducibility of science and access to information. However, these initiatives do not promote access to scientific equipment necessary for experiments. Mostly due to monetary constraints, equipment availability has always been uneven around the globe, affecting predominantly low-income countries and institutions. Here, a case is made for the use of free open source hardware in research and education, including countries and institutions where funds were never the biggest problem.
