The Association for Interdisciplinary Meta-Research and Open Science (AIMOS) is an international scientific society for Metascience and Open science.

Mission edit

The society's mission is to advance open science and the interdisciplinary field of meta-research by bringing together and supporting researchers in that field. It had around 250 members in 2022[2].

History edit

It was founded in June 2019 after a meeting at Swinburne University of Technology. At the official launch of AIMOS at the University of Melbourne in 2019, Australian Member of Parliament Dr Andrew Leigh stated: "As a policymaker, I firmly believe that open science is essential to a learning society. Congratulations to all who have helped build AIMOS, and in so doing to help us better understand the world”[3]. The first president of AIMOS was Fiona Fidler.

Activity edit

AIMOS has awarded scholarships for PhD and Masters students working in meta-research. It has partnered with the Center for Open Science to run the MetaScience conference[4]. It hosts an annual conference, with the 2022 conference in Melbourne, Australia[5]. Workshops held at AIMOS conferences have contributed to research published in relevant journals, including a study on the reliability of published papers[6] and a study of “best paper” awards in science[7]

AIMOS is a registered charity in Australia.[8]
