“…The advent of open science also offers an opportunity for ethnographers of science to revisit one of its central questions: that of inscription. How have new epistemic virtues, data-sharing practices and open science mandates changed-or not changed-the ways laboratory scientists engage in "coding, marking, altering, correcting, reading, and writing" (Latour and Woolgar, 1979, 49), not to mention image-making (Daston and Galison, 2007;Vertesi, 2015)? Organizational ethnographers can treat institutions that interact with the open science movement-from IRBs to data repositories and libraries, think tanks like COS to state agencies like NIH or NSF-as field sites from which to observe the negotiation of a new set of normative understandings, platforms, tools, and policies, embracing the profusion of social and cultural action that occurs in these sites as worthy of our ethnographic curiosity.…”

Ethnographers can and should not just do or not do open science, but study the push to share data, instruments, and other research materials as an important moment of change and contest in contemporary knowledge-making and knowledge politics. Following ethnographers of science and technology who have demonstrated the analytic opportunities afforded by moments of scientific controversy, we should treat the places where these calls are made, debated, and taken up as important field sites for ethnographic inquiry. Whenever and wherever the sharing of data, instruments, and research is discussed, planned, done, measured, judged, or regulated, there are powerful claims, visions, and action concerning what makes for facticity, legitimacy, and credibility in both research and politics. From these sites, I argue, we can observe changes to disciplinary and popular understandings of epistemic virtue, or what makes for reliable, factual, or adequately transparent knowledge production. Attention to these sites can also yield important perspectives on the ways that visions of proper research conduct are imbricated with visions of governance. Turning ethnographic methods to studying the open science movement, I argue that turning ethnographic methods to studying the open science movement can enable us to do timely scholarship about shifting understandings of facticity, knowledge, information, and governance.

“…Instead, my aim is to explore how mental imagery and hallucinations are 1 This narrow focus is intended as a partial contribution to a specific field of research (on concept-use within experimental practices). I value methodological pluralism within historical and philosophical and sociological approaches to studying scientific practices -also see, Camilleri (2015), Chang (2014), Janet Vertesi (2015). My approach could be complemented by additional perspectives -from specialised historical and sociological studies that could enrich or challenge my descriptive account, to detailed philosophical and metaresearch interrogations of the various normative implications of this account.…”
