Despite the current interest in Open Science in the scientific community, it is not clear if Open Science will succeed in higher education. Open Science is based on three basic ideas: open data, open results, and open publication. If these principles can be successfully implemented, it will allow for much greater participation in the scientific process, including, perhaps, broad public participation. In order for Open Science to be successful, it must be compatible with the practices of higher education. This will require significant adjustment. This article will discuss the pluses and minuses of Open Science in higher education.
