Although our selection is not exhaustive, we have also tried to find examples from different disciplines among the natural and physical sciences, and in some cases discussions within the chapters have touched slightly on other fields such as health sciences, computing sciences, and engineering. While this is arguably academically open in theory, there is also a very practical component to our interpretation of openness. Consistent with promoting a collegial atmosphere and in the spirit of sharing knowledge, we also want to freely share our work.
