Introduction 

Open Science is understood as open access acces  toall  scientific information, information with its products,  such as literature, data and software. Benefits This emerging paradigm shift also includes ideas about the future  of Open Science sciences within the digital age itself and changes in a scholarly value-added process. Benefits  are for instance faster communication of research findings - also through a more intensive collaboration between scientists -  and a  higher visibility in the research community (Arbeitsgruppe Open Access der Schwerpunktinitiative Digitale Information der Allianz der deutschen Wissenschaftsorganisationen; Fournier 2012), an effective  quality control and long-term availability of research data. outputs.  The Concordat On Open Research Data href="http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/research/opendata/" target="_blank">(2015) href="http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/research/opendata/">(2015)  mentions "economic growth, increased resource efficiency, securing public support for research funding and increasing public trust in research" as further benefits.
Benefits benefits.
All together they  differ according to three different benefit groups as shown in table 1. Researchers are individuals who might respond more to reasons like higher citation rates ( ...

, Piwowar); representatives ofwhole  research institutions like library staff and presidents might consider also more collective benefits. Open Access is not an aim in itself but should be a means to improve science, enhance transparency and integrity.

- researchers: Findings are openly distributed and are accessible to anyone, this means easier distribution of research results, easier collaboration due to open data
- scientific institutions: Preservation and availability of research results inspite of highly mobile scientists 
- science: anyone can participate, findings are shared and distributed broadly, less duplicate studies saves money, better reproducability which makes science better 
 

   
Groups of benefit from personal to collective benefits
Individual researcher better reproducability

  
Open Science is getting popular among universities and other research facilities in Germany like Leibniz, Fraunhofer, Helmholtz and Max Planck institutions. Open Access policies are passed and currently, universities are implementing Open Data policies. These policies can be a first step of promoting Open Science among researchers and to overcome the problem of scientists' reservation towards sharing, which is mentioned several times as important challenge in interviews in href="http://www.alliancepermanentaccess.org/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2011/10/7782_ODE_Brochure_v5.pdf" target="_blank">Ten href="http://www.alliancepermanentaccess.org/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2011/10/7782_ODE_Brochure_v5.pdf">Ten  Tales of Drivers & Barriers in Data Sharing, ODE Project.

At the moment, the currency of science are papers in highly ranked journals, therefore they are properly archived/stored (Kann man hier von Archiv sprechen?). But science consists of more than papers and the current practice of focus on quantity (in addition to quality?/ same researchers need to write more and in addition review more) is not sustainable.
