Open science promotes more transparent, accessible, and reproducible research and extends beyond the sciences, fostering this inclusivity across all disciplines. There are many benefits to practicing open science, including opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration, increased visibility and impact, and enhanced reproducibility and reusability of research.
The Open Science Cookbook provides a wide variety of lesson plans and learning activities for supporting collaborative, transparent, openly accessible, and reproducible research. In five sections, it has something for beginners to more advanced practitioners and for different audience sizes.
Program Development Instruction Outreach Events Collaborations and Partnerships
Just as freely sharing data and workflows enables key breakthroughs in major fields, sharing open science practices and resources creates an even stronger foundation for this necessary growth at institutions around the world. The Open Science Cookbook offers innovative ways for academic libraries to promote open science through advocacy and education. This book is available as an open access edition.

Emily Bongiovanni (she/her) is the open knowledge librarian at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), where she supports open science, open access, and open educational resources activities across campus. Before joining CMU, Emily was the scholarly communications librarian at Colorado School of Mines, where she promoted open science and supported faculty and students throughout the research lifecycle. She went to Denison University for her undergraduate degree and earned her master of library and information science at the University of Denver.
Melanie A. Gainey (she/her) is director of the Open Science and Data Collaborations Program and a STEM librarian at Carnegie Mellon University. Melanie co-created the Open Science and Data Collaborations Program at Carnegie Mellon University Libraries in 2018. In her current role as director, she continues to create and support open science initiatives. She also supports the research, teaching, and learning of students and faculty in the Biological Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, and Computational Biology Departments and at the Neuroscience Institute. Prior to joining CMU Libraries in 2017, Melanie was a postdoctoral researcher in the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute at the University of California, Berkeley, studying plasticity of neural circuits in response to changes in sensory experience. She holds a PhD in neuroscience from Brandeis University.
Chasz Griego (he/him) is a STEM librarian and former open science postdoctoral associate at Carnegie Mellon University. Chasz supports researchers, educators, and students in the Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Materials Science and Engineering Departments at CMU. He also leads and supports open science teaching and research initiatives, particularly in the areas of reproducibility in computational research. Prior to joining CMU Libraries, Chasz was a doctoral student studying computational models to accelerate catalyst material discovery at the University of Pittsburgh. He holds a PhD in chemical engineering.
Lencia McKee (she/her) is a research data librarian in the research data and open scholarship (RDOS) department at Cornell University Library. As part of the RDOS team, she supports research data services through data and code curation, management, education, and outreach, while promoting good data and code stewardship throughout the research data lifecycle. She is also a member of the Cornell data services (CDS) consulting team. Before joining Cornell University, Lencia was an open science program coordinator at Carnegie Mellon University and led the design and development of open science program initiatives and coordinated and collaborated with individuals across the university who support open science. Lencia is a first-generation college graduate and holds a BA in speech, language, and hearing, as well as a BA in linguistics from the University of Kansas. She also earned an MLIS with a specialization in archival studies from Emporia State University.
