The Vienna Principles

This is an excellent piece of work, well worth reading and thinking about:

Between April 2015 and June 2016, members of the Open Access Network Austria (OANA) working group “Open Access and Scholarly Communication” met in Vienna to discuss [Open Science]. The main outcome of our considerations is a set of twelve principles that represent the cornerstones of the future scholarly communication system. They are designed to provide a coherent frame of reference for the debate on how to improve the current system. With this document, we are hoping to inspire a widespread discussion towards a shared vision for scholarly communication in the 21st century. 

Their twelve principles are:

• 1 Accessibility
• 2 Discoverability
• 3 Reusability
• 4 Reproducibility
• 5 Transparency
• 6 Understandability
• 7 Collaboration
• 8 Quality Assurance
• 9 Evaluation
• 10 Validated Progress
• 11 Innovation
• 12 Public Good
