The open science movement has the goal of making transparent as much of the scientific process as is possible. This entails making publicly available (open source, access, etc.) the parts of the scientific workflow, such as the data, the software code, the manuscripts, that are used or generated in the process of doing research.

Functional Search Problems Among Medline Databases, C. Sean Burns
Information Science Presentations

The results have implications for literature searches, including systematic reviews.
