With the IT technology development, the Open Science movement, aiming at making scientific research and dissemination of its output accessible to all levels of society, amateurs or professionals, evolves from large bibliographic data, addressed mainly to the scientists, through Open Access movement, along with open scientific repositories and archives, recently ending with integrating institutional repositories (IR) with Current Research Information Systems (CRIS). Some newer IT solutions go further, extending systems by functionalities enabling dissemination of multitudinous aspects of research activities. OMEGAPSIR, developed at the Warsaw University of Technology (WUT), combines functionalities of IR, CRIS and Research Profiling Systems (RPS). Now, adopted by more than 34 scientific institutions in Poland, the system shows usefulness not merely for the university management people, not only for the research community, but also for the society. A good example of implementing Open Science ideas in Poland is the Polish Platform of Medical Research, which is a unique project that covers a number of institutional OMEGA-PSIR implementations at medical universities and research institutes, and provides a central database that integrates the information from the local systems. In the paper we discuss various aspects of Open Science, referring to the successful implementation of the Polish Platform of Medical Research.
