Our Commitment to Open Science
Open Data, Services, and Software Policies
ESDS promotes the full and open sharing of all data, metadata, products, information, documentation, models, images, and research results along with the source code used to generate, manipulate, and analyze them. Scientific knowledge is most robust and actionable when derived from transparent, traceable, and reproducible methods.
ESDS Open Source Software Policy
ESDS requires that all software developed through research and technology awards or in-house government-funded development is to be made available to the public as Open Source Software (OSS).
