Open Science to Knowledge without Borders

Abstract

This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons license.Open science encompasses several actions that impact on scientific activities. We can say that open science is the result of other movements, dating from the end of the last century, such as Open Archives and Open Access, resulting from the technological evolution and crisis of the journals respectively. Open science is incorporating existing precepts and proposing new challenges to the world scientific community (Shintaku and Lanne 2020) Rodrigues et al. (2019) mentions in an article that, since 2002, the Movement of Free Open Access to Scientific Information was already known and has been expanding its dimensions over time. The researchers obtained as a result of their research that open access was very well accepted and that there was a consensus among researchers to preserve, value and share scientific publications.Open Science is a renewed way of producing, disseminating and using scientific knowledge (Albagli 2015). It refers to the availability and opening of data, so that they are available for dissemination, with free and unpaid access, with greater transparency in scientific methods and so that they will be reused and better used by all researchers and by society (FAPEG 2019).Open Science presents itself as an umbrella, encompassing several initiatives that impact not only the dissemination of results in articles, as in the case of scientific publishing, but also initiatives that concern intermediary research activities, such as research notebooks or negative results. So that the study data are more transparent, available and reproducible, contributing to a more reliable science. In addition, it seeks to establish the technological infrastructure and incentives for this to happen (Sales et al. 2020) Considering that knowledge is a good that must be shared, the use of open science must be encouraged and applied by the entire scientific community, such as universities, development agencies, publishers and government agencies (Martins 2020).According to Abadal (2019), "Open science is a way of conceiving scientific research that is based on collaborative work, on the openness and transparency of all phases of research (data collection, expert review, dissemination, evaluation, etc.) and also on the approach of science to society". Open science supposes a radical transformation in the way scientific research is carried out and how to transform its evaluation system, in short, a whole paradigm shift in relation to the current system.Brazil is committed to Open Science within the National Open Government Action Plan. The main organizations that support science in Brazil, both the CAPES (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior) and the CNPq (Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico) participate in this national action plan with the objective of advancing Open Science in Brazil, which reinforces the view that, in the short term, it will be widely disseminated in the country.
