“…The idea of Open Science centers around important questions about the conduct and practice of science: credits and recognition for the open publication of research data, meaning and standards of data sharing, and comparability of research results and data [1]. It moreover supports democratic practices as the "emergence of the open science system unchains and democratizes any work (academic or non-academic), information, and pieces of knowledge or resources in digital form so that more people can access, produce, and distribute, collectively and individually, free of charge" [3].…”

Contemporary evidence-informed policy-making (EIPM) and societies require openly accessible high-quality knowledge as input into transparent and accountable decision-making and informed societal action. Open Science1 supports this requirement. As both enablers and logical consequences of the paradigm of Open Science, the ideas of Open Access, Open Data, and FAIR publishing principles revolutionise how academic research needs to be conceptualised, conducted, disseminated, published, and used. This ‘academic openness quartet’ is especially relevant for the ways in which research data are created, annotated, curated, managed, shared, reproduced, (re-)used, and further developed in academia. Greater accessibility of scientific output and scholarly data also aims at increasing the transparency and reproducibility of research results and the quality of research itself. In the applied ‘academic openness quartet’ perspective, they also function as remedies for academic malaises, like missing replicability of results or secrecy around research data. Against this backdrop, the present article offers a conceptual discussion on the four academic openness paradigms, their meanings, interrelations, as well as potential benefits and challenges arising from their application in data-driven research.

To share or not to share, that is the question: a qualitative study of Chinese astronomers’ perceptions, practices, and hesitations about open data sharing

Many astronomers in Western countries may have taken open data sharing (ODS) for granted to enhance astronomical discoveries and productivity. However, how strong such an assumption holds among Chinese astronomers has not been investigated or deliberated extensively. This may hinder international ODS with Chinese astronomers and lead to a misunderstanding of Chinese astronomers’ perceptions and practices of ODS. To fill this gap, we conducted a qualitative study comprising 14 semi-structured interviews and 136 open-ended survey responses with Chinese astronomers to understand their choices and concerns regarding ODS. We found that many Chinese astronomers conducted ODS to promote research outputs and respected it as a tradition. Some Chinese astronomers have advocated for data rights protection and data infrastructure’s further improvement in usability and availability to guarantee their ODS practices. Still, some Chinese astronomers agonized about ODS regarding the validity of oral commitment with international research groups and the choices between international traditions and domestic customs in ODS. We discovered two dimensions in Chinese astronomers’ action strategies and choices of ODS and discussed their descriptions and consequences. We also proposed the implications of our research for enhancing international ODS in future work.

Open Science for language assessment research and practice in China: A response to Winke

Language Testing

Winke delineates objectives and suggests a series of steps for the implementation of Open Science (OS) in language assessment. While we recognize the relevance and potential success of these concrete measures for OS in language assessment, the distinctive challenges confronting OS in China may prevent researchers and practitioners from fully capitalizing on them. In response to Winke, we first reflect on the significant challenges encountered by Chinese language assessment researchers and practitioners. These challenges include the absence of an ethos of openness in language assessment research and practice, difficulties in publishing in scholarly journals, including open-access (OA) journals, and the sensitive nature of the data involved in large-scale, high-stakes language testing. To address these issues and forge ahead, we propose a community-oriented, grassroots-driven approach to cultivating an OS culture and fortifying collaboration among stakeholders. We hope that, through concerted efforts, we can promote OS and, more importantly, enhance the quality of language assessment research and practice in China.
