“…The case for open access has been extensively reported in the literature [14,16,[31][32][33] 10 . Essentially, advocates of open access want full access to, and use of, published scientific articles, moved by the core argument that publicly funded universities and granting bodies have a moral duty to make academic research output available on the web at no charge.…”

“…Because the many benefits of open science have already been extensively studied and reported [10][11][12][13][14][15][16], this article instead intends to be a user guide for open science. The next sections of this article therefore provide an overview of the key pillars of open science, along with resources and tips to make open science happen in everyday research practices.…”

The internet era, large-scale computing and storage resources, mobile devices, social media, and their high uptake among different groups of people, have all deeply changed the way knowledge is created, communicated, and further deployed. These advances have enabled a radical transformation of the practice of science, which is now more open, more global and collaborative, and closer to society than ever. Open science has therefore become an increasingly important topic.Moreover, as open science is actively pursued by several high-profile funders and institutions, it has fast become a crucial matter to all researchers. However, because this widespread interest in open science has emerged relatively recently, its definition and implementation are constantly shifting and evolving, sometimes leaving researchers in doubt about how to adopt open science, and which are the best practices to follow.

“…Research needs to be open and shared to promote efficiency and trustworthiness. Sharing research materials and data enables others to (a) understand the original research protocol more completely, (b) check and verify reported analyses, (c) critique and improve the materials and protocols, and (d) reuse the materials or data for replication or other research purposes (Miguel et al, 2014;Molloy, 2011).…”

Scientific evidence should guide the selection of practice for individuals with disabilities. Scientific evidence, however, must be trustworthy to move special education toward greater empirical certainty and more effective policies and practices. Transparency, openness, and reproducibility increase the trustworthiness of evidence. We propose that researchers in special education adopt emerging open-science reforms, such as preprints, data and materials sharing, preregistration of studies and analysis plans, and Registered Reports. Adoption of these practices will require shifts in cultural norms, guidelines, and incentives. We discuss how adopting open-science practices can advance the quality of research and, consequently, policy and practice in special education.

“…The Open Science movement strengthened the perception of the importance of data, as it is the evidence of scientific knowledge and the basis for its development [36]. Scientific data allow us to solve problems in ecology and climate, health, national security or nanotechnology [39], which confirms it to be a defining intellectual asset that can be not only peer-reviewed, but also subject to quality assessment and reuse [26].…”

Digital curation and costs

The production of large volumes of scientific information, considering its cost, requires approaches that ensure its maintenance, reuse and recovery. These concerns prompted the emergence of digital curation. We intend to discuss the relevant thinking concerning the costs of digital curation. This means addressing the definition of the concept and the issue of costs, based on the studies related to cost models. A literature review was conducted using B-On and RCAAP as research sources, exploring the perceptions of the authors regarding the digital curation and its costs. The views expressed were organized around a scheme based on the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) lifecycle and the reference model Open Archival Information System (OAIS). It is proposed a systematization of digital curation issues bridging the DCC life cycle view of the digital object curation to the OAIS reference model approach, using a cross view seized by cost models and plan/data management policies.
