01
The principle
YODA operates on the assumption that scientific outputs — data, code, protocols, teaching material — should be public unless a specific ethical, legal, or safety reason requires otherwise. Closed is the exception, not the norm.
Open Science Policy
Knowledge that stays behind a paywall does not save a life at 03:00 in a small ICU on the other side of the world. Open is our default.

Where you can find it
All open resources live in the YODA Open Science Portal. This policy is the governance layer; the portal is where the artifacts are.

Exceptions
Data may be withheld when release would violate patient confidentiality, breach ethics approvals, or create clinical harm. Exceptions are documented and reviewed by the Ethics Committee, not decided in private.
