The term Science 2.0 alludes to Web 2.0 — interactive content creation over the internet — frequently used to describe adaptations of the scientific method to the Web 2.0 era of the World Wide Web. Many of the adaptations relate to an increased transparency of scientific research, most notably with respect to the handling of data and the publication, in academic journals, of research results derived from those data. Pertinent important movements include Open Data and Open Access, both inspired by the Open Source movement.
Another important aspect of Science 2.0 leverages or develops Web 2.0 tools and technologies — e.g. blogs, wikis and social networks — for scientific purposes that range from databases to cloud computing to telemedicine. As such, Science 2.0 intertwines with parallel developments in other parts of society, including Library 2.0 and Education 2.0.
