If you're in academia or industry and have taken action to push the needle to make your research, science, data etc. more open and useful (even if you've been told it will damage your career or goals), I'd love to know about what you've done.

7/ 📢 Get loud!

To have an impact, you need to spread your message widely and make sure it is heard by the people who have the power to make the changes you want. Find allies who can help you, e.g. librarians are often valuable sources of knowledge and support for open science.

6/ 🧑‍🔬 Do the research

Collecting data to support your points, e.g. through surveys or literature, gives you evidence that makes it harder for your stance to be ignored. Try to find out how the committees, boards or governments that you’re trying to influence work.
