Hi all, I am trying to put together a syllabus for open science. Is
there such a thing anywhere? if not, I think it is a good and timely
idea to start identifying key topics that may help to get the msg
across in the form of a syllabus.

to Open Science Framework
Here are the syllabi from my "Improving Science" and "Graduate Research Methods" courses that I taught last year.  Especially the former has some relevant material (much focused on psychology because these were psych graduate courses).  Even though they are just a year old, there is much to update.  This literature is moving so fast.  

Feel free to use any of the material from these if useful:

Dunno if this is helpful: "a protocol for teaching undergraduates to
document the statistical analysis they do for empirical research
projects in such a way that their results are completely reproducible
and verifiable" -- Teaching Integrity in Empirical Research Dataverse
- Harvard Dataverse Network - http://thedata.harvard.edu/dvn/dv/TIER

See also: http://www.haverford.edu/TIER/

I'm new to the group and curious if there's a working definition of
"open science" someone can link me to.

@Philip: Sorry to leave you hanging. The "About" page of the Center for Open Science seems to refer to the term "Open Science" in context as indicating it is when scientists provide to the intellectual common sufficiently complete methods and observations for the reproducibility of all studies conducted in relation to a given claim regardless of the apparent consistency or inconsistency of study results with said claim.

Best,
Ben

Thanks, Ben. In another thread*, Tom Roche helped me find the pull
request that contains "providing sufficiently complete methods and
observations" as a definition of "open science". As you say, the home
for this definition seems to be http://centerforopenscience.org/about/

Sounds great. Thanks, everyone.

I am not sure if open science is limited just to statistical methods
-not sure if this is true only for Psychology, I would doubt it. I am
more interested in, for instance, interoperability required by open
science, goals of open science, big data in open science, data
standards in open science, minimal amounts of information and
reporting structures in open science, and many other issues that are
relevant for open science and needed to clarified so that we get the
msg across- students (both undergrad and post grad should be thought
about open science IMHO),
