            * What led you to open science, and how did your relationship with open science develop?
            ******************************************************************************************
            Because I often need either large data files or facsimiles or editions of old texts for my

            I sometimes find myself in a situation where I can’t access these resources. Of course, al
            researchers have this problem, but researchers from poorer countries and institutions have
            disadvantage than others. Therefore, I try to make the data I help create available to the

            group of users, and I think that the situation is gradually improving in this regard. On t
            there is an increasing awareness of open science and the feeling that practising open scie
            right thing to do. On the other hand, this approach is promoted, for example, by grant age





            ******************************************************************************************
            * What do you get out of open science on a daily basis?
            ******************************************************************************************

            On the one hand, I very often draw on open sources, such as the digitization project Early
            Online [ URL "https://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/eebogroup/"] and a wide range of language corpo
            projects for digitizing old manuscripts. Currently, I am working on the digitization of an

            Dictionary online (bosworthtoller.com [ URL "http://bosworthtoller.com"] ) and on creating
            Semantic Database of Czech. Both resources will be accessible and open to use for as many 
            possible. 





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

            Beside the fact that open access principles help balance out the opportunities and disadva
            researchers from poorer countries and institutions, data sharing helps make research more 
            this, I mean that scientific research should be replicable, among other things. This has p

            serious problem in the social sciences and humanities in recent years. Open data and relia
            methodologies are one of the ways to successfully address this problem and at the same tim
            credibility of the disciplines concerned. 





            ******************************************************************************************
            * What would you recommend to colleagues who want to use open science principles for their
            ******************************************************************************************

            Don’t be afraid that your future research will suffer by sharing your data. Of course, it 
            someone will use your data for research that you could have thought of in the future. But 
            than when the effort put into creating or acquiring data bears more fruit? You will also c

            already do use data created by someone else. We all stand on the shoulders of giants. 




            ******************************************************************************************
            * In your opinion, what obstacles must one overcome so that open science can become common

            ******************************************************************************************
            Concerns, mutual mistrust, but also legislative restrictions associated with licensing and
            not in favour of abolishing intellectual property rights, but for research purposes that d

            the rights of other authors, it should be possible and easy to obtain virtually any data, 
            their collection or creation was publicly funded. 




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

            * What does open science mean to you in one sentence?
            ******************************************************************************************
            Open science means freedom of research and the credibility of science.
