Although people are astonished at the fast speed of modern science, there are some problems deserving people's considering. For example, the proceeding of research is sealed up in the field of science, the result of scientific research is not available without permission, the excessive protection of the intellectual property over new achievements, the misconducts in the academic field etc, as such things affect or hinder the development of science severely, and arouse the attention of many researchers oslo. With the advocation of some pioneers, at the end of 20 century, a series of open campaign broke out around the world, such as the Free Software Movement and Open Source Movement, Open Access Movement and Open Data Movement. Soon after, the coming of the new internet technology——web2.0, which is a revolutionary toll for interaction, brings about brand-new chance for the communication and cooperation in scientific research. This leads to the new era of science 2.0. Now, many researchers take the advantage of the communication tool to undertake scientific research. The series of open movements in the fields of science and other academic field have the common features:that is the the reflection of logos——" freedom, openness, cooperation, share".We call these movements as Open Science Movement. At the beginning of the article, the descriptive dividing open science from traditional science by character and idol gives the necessary explanation for the sphere of the article, then analyses the background of open science movement, and gives brief intrduction of the main parts of Open ScienceMovement, which are Free Software and Open Source Software Movement, Open Access and Open Data Movement and science 2.0. From the rising of open science, it has being the focus of argument among people.For one hand, people warmly welcome the goodness of the open science's idea and the sheer goal for academy; For another, some people think the open science is unrealistic, for it conflicts with the traditional views and the current institutions, and think it is impossible to be the mainstream. So it is natural to discuss the main disputing problems in the following sections. They are respectively the problem of open science and intellectual property, the problem of open science and pirat, and the problem of open science and the impetus of research. The opinion of this paper is that as the aggressivly expanding intellectual property is being away from it's original attention, we need examine it more at today's information era. The open science is to weaken intellectual property. Open and share are not the source of pirat, on the contrary they are the workable cure for pirate, and the incentive from economic intrest is not the only nor the best impetus, in fact, interest, hobbies, dedication and faith in science contained in the idol of open science are more important driving force.By analysing these questions, the article highlights the merits of open science.The final part is conclusion, looking forward the prospect of open science full of hope on open science.
