BOX 1 The Roundtable on Aligning Incentives for Open Science In order to increase the contribution of open science to producing better science, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Roundtable on Aligning Incentives for Open Science convenes critical stakeholders to discuss the effectiveness of current incentives for adopting open science practices, current barriers of all types, and ways to move forward in order to align reward structures and institutional values. The Roundtable convenes two times per year and creates a venue for the exchange of ideas and joint strategic planning among key stakeholders.
