Cohen (University of Maryland). What is the role of professional scholars in civic life, and what does this imply about open science? How and why should academics seek to build trust with audiences beyond their disciplines and institutions? I embrace the reciprocal relationship between professional scholarship and active citizenship, arguing that aligning personal and vocational identities can enhance both public and academic contributions - and the practices of open science are fundamental to that endeavor.
