Synopsis
Un element cle de la comprehension du contexte structural, technique, culturel et de politique publique de la science accessible dans l'hemisphere sud est la reconnaissance de la pluralite et de la diversite du cadre et de la signification du terme accessible .
Ce volume propose des textes issus de douze projets qui ensemble forment le reseau Open and Collaborative Science in Development Network (OCSDN). Il est structure en fonction de quatre thematiques: Definir la science accessible dans le domaine du developpement; Gouvernance et science accessible; Negocier la science accessible; et Accroitre la science accessible a l'appui de la transformation sociale.
Ce volume sert a mettre en valeur des exemples et des reflexions qui illustrent la facon dont des occasions et des defis poses par le libre acces varient d'une region a l'autre, et d'identifier les principales differences entre les acteurs, les etablissements, les infrastructures et la gouvernance des ressources fondees sur le savoir, dans differents contextes. Ce volume contribuera a la litterature sur le libre acces, qui a principalement ete ecrite en fonction du contexte de l'hemisphere nord.
La remise en question de la production asymetrique du savoir mondial est au coeur d'une meilleure comprehension du mouvement vers la science accessible et ce que celle-ci pourrait representer pour la reflexion et la pratique du developpement.
Synopsis
An important part of identifying the structural, technical, policy and cultural contexts for Open Science in the Global South is recognizing the plurality and diversity in the framing and meanings of "openness."
This volume brings together contributions from the twelve projects that form the Open and Collaborative Science in Development Network (OCSDN), and is organized along four themes: Defining Open Science in Development, Governing Open Science, Negotiating Open Science, and Expanding Open Science for Social Transformation.
The collective goal of this volume is to identify examples and reflections that illustrate how opportunities and challenges posed by openness vary across regions, and to identify key differences between actors, institutions, infrastructure and governance of knowledgebased resources in diverse settings. The volume will contribute to and expand upon the literature on "openness," which has largely been written from the standpoint of the Global North.
Challenging the asymmetry of global knowledge production and access is central to understanding the growing movement towards Open Science and what it may mean for development thinking and practices. The intent is to further stimulate research and debates on how best to collectively design a knowledge system that is open and equitable for all.
Synopsis
Contextualizing Openness offers a fascinating look at Open Science and the democratization of knowledge in international development and social transformation with a focus on the Global South. This volume presents contributions from the twelve projects that form the Open and Collaborative Science in Development Network (OCSDNet) organized around four central themes: Defining Open Science in Development; Governing Open Science; Negotiating Open Science; and Expanding Open Science for Social Transformation.
The collective goal is to illustrate how the opportunities and challenges associated with openness vary across regions and, further, to identify the key differences that characterize the actors, institutions, as well as the infrastructure and governance of knowledge-based resources in highly diverse settings. To understand the movement toward Open Science and its impact on the thinking and practices that drive development, we must challenge the asymmetry of global knowledge production and of access to this knowledge.
Contextualizing Openness aims at stimulating further research and debate on how to collectively design a knowledge system that is open and equitable for all
