Welcome to Open Science Land: A New Travel Guide for Your Research Journey

At the SLUB Open Science Lab, we are constantly looking for ways to make transparent research feel less like a bureaucratic hurdle and more like an exciting frontier. That’s why we are thrilled to spotlight a unique new project that recently landed on our radar: Open Science Land.

If you’ve ever felt like the world of pre-registrations, open data, and reproducibility was a dense thicket of technical jargon, this book is the compass you’ve been waiting for.

From Academic Insight to Artistic Exploration

The story of this book began in 2024 at Leuphana University Lüneburg. An interdisciplinary group of scientists met to discuss the future of the field. This collaboration first produced a scholarly article in the Schmalenbach Journal of Business Research: A Tale of Open Science: Emergence of a New Normal. However, the authors (Marko Sarstedt, Doreen Siegfried, Meikel Neumann, Susanne J. Adler, Oliver Genschow, and Monika Imschloss) didn’t stop there. They wanted to create something lively and accessible.

Not a Map, but a Travel Guide

In collaboration with illustrators Johanna Benz and Tiziana Beck, and communication designer Stefan Werner, the team transformed academic principles into a playful, visual journey. Open Science Land isn’t a dry manual; it’s a travel guide.

Whether you are a doctoral supervisor, a curious researcher, or a reviewer, this book invites you to explore the landscape of open practices with a wink and curiosity. It acknowledges that while the destination of better science is clear, the terrain can be abstract and ever-changing.
