New for 2020 – AMO Open Science forums. It’s early days yet, but hopefully the forums will fill a gap.
Open science – the practice of making full research projects open and accessible, from inception to publication – is an increasingly important topic, and even appearing in the popular press, particularly with regard to transparency and reproducible in research… hence open science can be viewed as the opposite of bad science.

Open science (along with the more general notion of open data) is also part of the Canadian Government’s Open Government action plan, which includes the statement that:
The Government of Canada will maximize access to federally-funded scientific research to encourage greater collaboration and engagement with the scientific community, the private sector, and the public.
As part of our work towards open science, our articles are increasingly available on open platforms (arXiv, Authorea). And, now, good things are happening with our data too. Thanks to the Open Science Foundation (OSF) and Figshare, it’s now easy to share data, code etc. and make it citable with a DOI.
Some of our recent open science data can be found at:
Time-dependent Wavepackets and Photoionization – CS2 (2013 – present)
Our ongoing work on the calculation of time-dependent wavepackets and observables in photoionization is now collected in an OSF project (DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/RJMPD). Aspects of this work have previously been published, but much of the detail and methodology underlying the calculations has remained sitting on our computers. As part of our Open Science Initiative, we’re letting this data go free! Head over to the OSF project “Time-dependent Wavepackets and Photoionization – CS2” for more.
Photoionization dynamics – collected results from ePolyScat (ongoing)
Update Jan 2020: collected results are now online at ePSdata, which supersedes the previous OSF pages. This now includes DOIs for each dataset from Zenodo, and post-processing with the new python version of ePSproc.
An OSF project, collecting photoionization calculations (ePolyScat), and notes, is now available. This will be an ongoing resource for researchers in photoelectron spectroscopy, interferometry and related areas, and is part of our Open Science initiative.
