520 _aDrawing on my experience as the American Economic Association’s data editor, I examine the current state of open science in economics as facilitated by and related to reproducibility. I touch on the tension between accessibility, sharing, and preservation. The guiding theme is the accessibility of the key ingredients for scholarship : manuscripts, data, software, and the necessary technology to combine the latter two in order to produce knowledge. I analyze how economic research balances openness with necessary restrictions, particularly regarding administrative and confidential data. I argue that a large degree of openness is nevertheless present, with extensive networks that include thousands of researchers supporting collaborative science. I argue that resource constraints, such as software licensing costs and computational resource requirements, pose similar challenges. I illustrate concrete benefits of open science in the economics literature, using recent articles. I wrap up by discussing the state of access to scientific articles in economics.JEL Codes: A11, A13, B40.
