The NeuroCommons
We are pleased to announce our NeuroCommons project today. The NeuroCommons is a proving ground for the ideas behind Science Commons: open legal contracts and Open Access literature, advanced use of open-standards Semantic Web technology, and the construction of an open community involving all the stakeholders in scientific funding, research, and publishing.

Welcome to Science Commons

Our goal is to encourage stakeholders to create areas of free access and inquiry using standardized licenses and other means; a 'Science Commons' built out of voluntary private agreements.

We work in three areas:

Project: Publishing
Scientific literature, publication and archiving

Project: Licensing
Streamlined and socially responsible licensing

Project: Data
Data and Databases
