Science Award
Science Award
The International Research Conference (IRC) is an open science research organization dedicated
to promoting advancement of science, engineering, and technology. The IRC’s open science award
program is pleased to announce research awards which are available to distinguished researchers
who are currently based at or affiliated with a research university.
The purpose of this award is the recognition of open science research and publications. The
award program coordinates and develops high impact scholarly research which seeks to promote
multiscience approaches. The open science originates with the premise that universal scientific
knowledge is a product of collective scholarly efforts. The social collaboration involves all
stakeholders and knowledge belongs to the global society. Scientific outputs generated by public
research are public good that should be available to all at no cost and without any barriers or
restrictions.
The open science award is granted annually for outstanding achievements and excellence in
scientific research. Any researcher who is interested in this award can submit their own and /or the
colleagues’ scholarly research articles for consideration for this honor. All respected researchers
are warmly welcome to submit their research works for potential award consideration and
evaluation. Qualitative and quantitative assessment of the open access articles submitted and
published for consideration will be evaluation criteria for the award. The award emphasizes open
science contributions, collaborations and communication, and the open publication of scholarly
research knowledge.
This annual award will be given to one and up to three honorees (or research groups) in
recognition of exceptional contributions to open science in the following three distinct research
categories: Social Sciences, Life Sciences, and Physical Sciences. The selection committees
(waset.org/Committees) are responsible for selecting the recipient(s) of the named award. The
members of the open science award committee will promote excellence and transparency, allow
broad input, recognition, diversity and commitment to equity so that the open science award is
sufficiently representative of distinguished research groups.
Assignment of the open science award committee is performed primarily through the online
submission and review system. The annual event is held to present awards and to celebrate
distinguished researchers for their open science contributions.
