Thought Leadership

Open science is at the heart of the mission and work of ASAP. Our vision is to facilitate a research environment where meaningful collaboration, research-enabling resources, and data sharing provide the answers we need to understand, diagnose, and treat Parkinson’s disease.
We are actively engaged with the broader open science community and have published articles, blog posts, and other resources detailing our philosophy and the framework surrounding the implementation and evaluation of our Open Science Policy. We hope that these resources assist other funders and institutions as they consider open science implementation frameworks.

ASAP Manuscripts on Open Science Practice

“Blueprint for Collaborative Open Science” (2022)
“Blueprint for Collaborative Open Science” (2022)

This Blueprint presents initial findings on how our approach to open science has solidified and evolved over the years, data and metrics on progress, and CC-BY versions of assets that can be adopted and adapted by others. We update the Blueprint with new findings and updated versions of these assets on a regular basis.
