Abstract:

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is the world's 
largest high-energy physics laboratory. The frontier research conducted 
at CERN has long embodied the values that have more recently come to be 
defined at the Open Science movement, which describes research and 
development that is collaborative, transparent and reproducible and 
whose outputs are publicly available (EU, 2018). Indeed these values 
were enshrined in 1953 in CERN’s founding Convention, which states that 
“… the results of its experimental and theoretical work shall be 
published or otherwise made generally available,” providing 
the organization with an early Open Science manifesto. This presentation 
will provide an overview of CERN’s activities to increase the 
accessibility, reuse and reproducibility of research in high energy 
physics, with a particular focus on the SCOAP3 program, which has 
transitioned 90% of literature in the discipline to Open Access, and a 
range of additional services, particularly relating to Open Data (CERN 
Open Data, REANA, CAP and Zenodo).
