Over the last few years, funding agencies, publishers and the media have started talking of "Open Science": some funding agencies have requirements ranging from articles to be made accessible to all, through data to be shared publicly. Most publishers have started journals where authors have to now pay to openly publish their articles. The media has run stories about the duty of publicly funded science to be open. We will discuss some of these recent events and related initiatives in the field of particle physics. We will start with Open Access publishing, and the SCOAP3 initiative. We will consider how Open Data trends in other fields are influencing developments at the LHC experiments and initiatives such as the recent publication of the Higgs likelihood by ATLAS. We will look into some general tools to make data available and citable, both in general, and within INSPIRE, the particle physics information platform.
