Münster Center for Open Science (MüCOS)

The Münster Center for Open Science (MüCOS) provides evidence-based support for researchers at the University of Münster in the areas of transparent and reliable research and develops the meta-scientific foundations of Open Science. Our Open Science services include networking and bundling across disciplines and departments, strategy development and consulting, the preparation of information and solutions, as well as further education and training. These services cover all four areas of interrelated Open Science practices: open documentation of research questions and research plans, open documentation of materials and data, open publication and open communication of research results. Both general interdisciplinary and subject-specific, customized solutions are implemented.
