But is this assumption correct? This project is the first to investigate whether and how OSCs help to embed OS into research culture and practice in the Netherlands by comparatively examining how OS is constructed in discourses of OSC leaders, members, and non-members. Based on our empirical findings, we will develop an evidence-based model that clarifies the roles of OSCs in the culture shift towards OS, as well as formulate recommendations for OS policy and guidelines directed at OSCs.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"
