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]
