Abstract

The purpose of the article is to summarize the main concepts and trends in the field of open science, as well as the main relevant policies, services, and resources that can be useful for universities and academic libraries in their research and academic strategies. The research methodology of the study is based on the application of analysis and synthesis methods, which made it possible to achieve the stated purpose of the article and to obtain reasonable conclusions. The scientific novelty of the results obtained is to clarify the role of universities and academic libraries in promoting the principles and ideas of open science, presenting numerous applications to researchers, and learning to create appropriate infrastructure and services. Conclusions. Attention is drawn to the radical transformation of scientific communication, the creation of new knowledge through research, and their dissemination through training and publications. The need to realize the value of research data, which provides many new opportunities not only for further research of other scientists in the global world but also for teaching, administration, partnership and strategic planning, is emphasized. The conclusion is made about the need to participate in open scientific practices, to open scientific data and scientific results, and to make them available to the scientific community and the general public.
