The transition to Open Science depends for a large part on early-career researchers as implementers of new research practices. But in order to be a driver for change, researchers need to be introduced to and trained in Open Science practices. The practical guide ‘Open Science for Early-Career Researchers’ is designed to do just that. It is a starting point to accompany researchers in every step in research.
