NLM Musings from the Mezzanine

NLM has a robust history of adopting and expanding open science practices—long before the term “open science” was first coined. As we look back on the 2023 Year of Open Science, we break down the Federal Government’s definition of “open science” to see how we strengthened our commitment.
Open science as a concept has existed for many decades, and open-access databases such as GenBank are vital resources to free public access to sequence data. See how GenBank makes genetic sequence data from all forms of life freely and equally available to all, with no restrictions on use or redistribution.
Open Access Week raises awareness of open access, fosters discussions about open scholarship, and encourages new ways to promote knowledge sharing. In honor of Open Access Week, let’s dive into some of the ways that NLM supports open access all year long!
Did you know that 2023 is a Year of Open Science? To honor this, NLM is excited to announce two new LHNCBC projects that will enable access to scientific data: the Center for Clinical Observational Investigations (CCOI) and Leveraging Large-Scale Clinical Datasets (LSCDs) for HIV outcomes projects.
