We know that modern scientific research isn’t imaginable without software, from short scripts and the excess of complex spreadsheets, through to the huge software enterprises behind international efforts. Open software, both a driver and a consequence of Silicon Valley’s success, has enhanced the ability of scientists to examine data and collaborate with other scientists. That is the entire concept behind the Openscapes, an organization established to support collaborative efforts in environmental science. This open platform lets the researchers learn from others through webinars, Twitter, discussion forums, and Slack channels, etc. Openscapes is committed to promoting a scientific culture that is more effective and collaborative and can unveil environmental solutions faster.
