            ******************************************************************************************
            * What led you to open science, and how did your relationship with open science develop?
            ******************************************************************************************

            The first impulse for following the principles of open science for me was in 2009 when I b
            editor-in-chief of the new journal Studie z aplikované lingvistiky, whose publisher, the F
            of Charles University, strategically decided to publish all journals in open access. Altho

            previously been a user of freely available data from large research infrastructures, such 
            National Corpus, since then, I have become more interested in how far the principles of op
            reach, and I have become a dedicated follower of them. In our research group, we try to ex

            which we implement the principles of open science, even though we have achieved this gradu
            by looking at good practices from abroad.




            ******************************************************************************************

            * What do you get out of open science on a daily basis?
            ******************************************************************************************
            Currently, there are three areas: 1. Repeated consideration of whether publishing options 

            in the open access mode and then preferring them when publishing research results (in addi
            work also in cases where I am the editor of a collective work, such as the thematic issue 
            2. Work with freely available data, support for students to consider the possibilities of 

            and sharing when collecting data for theses, participation in the creation of shared data 
            participating in the development of a multimodal Czech corpus CZICO [ URL "https://epocc.f
            czico/"] . 3. Most recently, it is the pre-registration of some research through the OSF p

            gradually becoming a standard even in the field of linguistics I am involved in.




            ******************************************************************************************
            * Why is openness in science important to you (what are the benefits)?

            ******************************************************************************************
            For me, it especially means fairer access to academic information, which enables the conti
            of research and better dissemination of research results. Another benefit is transparency,

            when data are available and how they are processed, what the interpretation of research re
            scientific studies is based on – this facilitates both the replication of research and qua
            At this point, the principles of open science meet up with the ethical principles in scien

            that data sharing is possible only where the rights of respondents in such research, which
            vulnerable groups, are not violated.




            ******************************************************************************************

            * What would you recommend to colleagues who want to use open science principles for their
            ******************************************************************************************
            In my opinion, it is a functional step to look at how good practice works in their field a

            gradually introduce elements of good practice into their own research. For those who colle
            their research, I would recommend consulting with experts in digital humanities and proces
            in such a way (e.g. using XML or the TEI standard) to facilitate their future use and shar

            researchers. I am convinced that we can be much smarter and more open in this respect in t
            of linguistics.




            ******************************************************************************************

            * In your opinion, what obstacles must one overcome so that open science can become common
            ******************************************************************************************
            First of all, in some parts of the system, it is a matter of overcoming the mental block t

            and correct to share data under certain conditions, and that it will be beneficial for the
            community. Secondly, sufficiently user-friendly and mutually compatible tools must be deve
            managing and sharing data and research results, so that even less technically experienced 

            the feeling that it is easy to follow the principles of open science.




            ******************************************************************************************
            * What does open science mean to you in one sentence?

            ******************************************************************************************
            Open science for me means focusing on what is important: effective research without geogra
            barriers that is beneficial to society.
