As part of a recent workshop entitled "Imagining Tomorrow's University", we were asked to visualize the future of universities as research becomes increasingly data- and computation-driven, and identify a set of principles characterizing pertinent opportunities and obstacles presented by this shift. In order to establish a holistic view, we take a multilevel approach and examine the impact of open science on individual scholars and how this impacts as well as on the university as a whole. At the university level, open science presents a double-edged sword: when well executed, open science can accelerate the rate of scientific inquiry across the institution and beyond; however, haphazard or half-hearted efforts are likely to squander valuable resources, diminish university productivity and prestige, and potentially do more harm than good. We present our perspective on the role of open science at the university.
作为近期举办的名为“畅想明日大学”研讨会的一部分，我们被要求设想在研究日益由数据和计算驱动的情况下大学的未来，并确定一系列原则，以描述这一转变带来的相关机遇和障碍。为了建立一个整体的视角，我们采用多层次的方法，审视开放科学对个体学者的影响以及这一影响如何波及整个大学。在大学层面，开放科学是一把双刃剑：如果执行得当，开放科学可以加快整个机构乃至机构之外的科学探究速度；然而，随意或敷衍的努力很可能会浪费宝贵资源，降低大学的生产力和声誉，甚至可能弊大于利。我们阐述了我们对开放科学在大学中所起作用的看法。
