OPEN ACCESS ?
Could Open Access change the current power structure of global scientific production and dissemination?

open access creates the potential for new spaces for collaboration and co-creation of knowledge

Openness as a means to development
What is the nature of “openness” and its linkage to innovations for public goods and how can this understanding help formulate and support enabling policies?
![Page 7: Challenges and opportunities of linking Open Access and Open Science with the Sustainable Development Goals](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2000b1a28ab980a8b45f5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Meanings of Openness• Free of cost barriers• Free of permission barriers• Free to share and re-use• Rights to Research, meaning the rights to
participate in knowledge production and meaning making• Inclusive Participation (beyond expertise)• Equitable Collaboration • Promote Cognitive justice

“The right to science envisages the scientific and technological endeavor as a process that every person is entitled to participate in—a collective and collaborative process that can help to unite a frequently fragmented world.”
Lea Shaver, The Right to Science and Culture. 2010 WISC. L. REV. 121 (2010)

A proposition that open models and peer-based production, enabled by pervasive network technologies, non-market based incentive structures and alternative licensing regimes, could result in greater participation, access and collaboration across different social and economic sectors.
![Page 11: Challenges and opportunities of linking Open Access and Open Science with the Sustainable Development Goals](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2000b1a28ab980a8b45f5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
This call for:• Diverse empirical research on “openness” across
disciplinary boundaries • Development of rich conceptual frameworks that
acknowledge the diversity of knowledge production, forms of representations, and legitimation • Understanding principles of technical and social
interoperability and the supporting institutional structures• Rethinking on funding support and incentive structures• Policy Alignment between funders and development
organizations

Open Science as Inclusive Science• Could OCS thinking and practices lead to a
more inclusive view of knowledge production and legitimation?
• What kind of tools, standards, infrastructure, institutions and policies would need to be created or adapted to enable OCS and equal participation of researchers from marginalized regions?
![Page 13: Challenges and opportunities of linking Open Access and Open Science with the Sustainable Development Goals](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022412/58f2000b1a28ab980a8b45f5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• The network is supporting 12 sub-projects with researchers from 15 countries
• 3 projects from Sub-Saharan Africa, 1 from the Middle East, 1 from the Caribbean, 4 from Latin America, and 3 from South, East and Central Asia
• Diverse topics: citizen science, open hardware, open data, IP policy, climate change, food security, public health, indigenous knowledge, sociology of science…

National governments must commit to supporting science and development locally

If effective steps to secure the permanence of e-infrastructures are not taken soon, we will risk having biological data, which are currently organized and made available globally, once again inaccessible. In the case of Brazil, speciesLink is in immediate peril of disappearing. Brazil is one of the most diverse countries in the planet [18], holding ~19% of all existing plant species [19]; thus, speciesLink is not only of interest to Brazilian people and government anymore but has acquired importance in the global scenario as well. Not only will the hundreds of thousands of users of this system miss this crucial research and policy infrastructure, but the social scientific network linked to the e-infrastructure may lose strength.
