The benefits of Open Science: Evidence for claims made in the NWO animation on "Open Science"

The Dutch Research Council (NWO) has been a strong supporter of Open Science for many years. In 2020 we commissioned the production of a very short (1.30 minute) animation to explain what Open Science is about and why NWO thinks it is so important. The video can be viewed on the NWO website: www.nwo.nl/openscience. In this document we provide the references to scholarly literature that support the claims made in the video about the benefits of Open Science.
