Open Hydrology
The UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science has set an international standard of guiding principles for open science. It encompasses a set of principles and practices aimed at making scientific research from all fields accessible to everyone for the benefit of scientists and society as a whole. Open science emphasizes accessibility, inclusivity, equity, and sustainability in the production of scientific knowledge.
Open Hydrology presents a strategic framework to integrate open science into hydrology, illustrating its true potential to enhance research transparency, collaboration, and accessibility within water management practices.
