Open Scholarship is the practice of applying principles of openness throughout research and academia.
Practising Open Scholarship means sharing research outputs (such as research protocols, methodology, data, and publications) as quickly as possible in the research process in a way that permits access and reuse by others.

The Eight Pillars of Open Science
The principles of Open Science are based on 8 pillars, as defined by the European Commission illustrate the broad scope of Open Science, as recommended by the Open Science Policy Platform:
The National Open Research Forum (NORF) was established in 2017 to drive the Irish agenda for open research.
"The role of NORF is to propose national actions to address the challenges of changing the Irish research system to strengthen, promote or better support open research practices as outlined in the National Framework".
