Institutional Commitment #

ICArEHB researchers are highly aware of the ethical, professional, and scientific responsibilities that come with being stewards of the past. In line with this, we embrace the principles of Open Science, ensuring that research is transparent and reproducible at every stage. This means that our projects undergo peer and community review both before and during the research process. It also means that our methods, software, code, and other outputs are made accessible for the benefit of fellow scientists, the public, and policymakers, helping to shape public policy when necessary. Furthermore, our raw data on humanity’s past is archived and made available to everyone, ensuring that it benefits our collective future. Open Science is not only a reflection of our core values as a research institution but also a necessity in ensuring that the knowledge we generate contributes meaningfully to global scientific advancement.

By adopting Open Science principles, ICArEHB aims to:

• Increase the visibility and impact of our research outputs.

• Enhance reproducibility and credibility in the research we conduct.

• Promote interdisciplinary and international collaboration.

• Ensure that the knowledge and data generated by our researchers are freely accessible to the global community.

• Align with international standards and funder requirements, ensuring compliance with Open Science policies from major funding bodies.
