Expectations for Open Science

[yunks128]

We are cross-posting this issue from NASA-AMMOS/slim Issue #173 to broaden the conversation and gather feedback from the TOPS community.

We believe this is a great opportunity to expand the conversation regarding expectations around open research and collaborative contributions.

Specifically, we are proposing to either create a new document or integrate it into the existing Code of Conduct to outline expectations for open, collaborative research practices, including:

• Best practices for contributing and collaborating in open-source projects.
• Guidelines for research integrity and transparency.
• Approaches for feedback, authorship, and sharing research outputs. The current draft is here: https://github.com/yunks128/slim/blob/main/docs/guides/governance/contributions/code-of-conduct/EXPECTATIONS.md

We welcome feedback from the TOPS community on how to best structure and implement these expectations. Should we integrate this into the Code of Conduct or create a new standalone document? Your insights and suggestions will be valuable in shaping this initiative.

Thanks in advance for your contributions!
