The fight against Covid-19 has also led to the need to fight against scientific disinformation or fake science. Open science as a new paradigm also considers the dissemination of scientific knowledge towards society. This article reflects on whether open science can also be a useful response against misinformation and how this could be achieved. Resumen La lucha contra la Covid-19 ha conllevado la necesidad de luchar contra la desinformación científica o fake science. La ciencia abierta como nuevo paradigma también tiene en cuenta la difusión del conocimiento científico hacia la sociedad. Se reflexiona sobre si la ciencia abierta puede ser una respuesta útil contra la desinformación y de qué manera se podría lograr.

Science Movement

Open and free access to scientific knowledge keeps scientists up to date with the latest achievements in their respective fields and to help set up appropriate solutions to health, environmental and technical issues. One of the efficient settings toward this purpose is the use of preprint servers- open repositories that allow authors to post their manuscripts ahead of formal peer review/publishing in traditional journals. The recognition of preprints as an essential part of science landscape are on the rise worldwide.In 2018, a European funder coalition, called Coalition S, has been formed and issued an open access plan, called Plan S, that requires authors of studies funded by the Coalition to publish their manuscripts- starting from January 2021- in open access journals or repositories that meet the guidelines of the Plan S. Many publishers and researchers welcomed the Plan S as a step forward to promote openness and free access to publicly funded research. To further enhance the open and free science movement, I'd propose a European preprint server called "European arXiv" (https://eurorxiv.eu) as a multidisciplinary and multilingual repository that will accept manuscripts (preprints and postprints) in the various European languages and beyond. The project is an individual initiative, but interested people are welcome to join.

The Creation

The APPsyCI, a Portuguese research center, decided to incorporate, in all its areas of activity, a research line within Open Science articulated with information literacy (IL). The Open Science assumptions were implemented through several actions: repository management, teacher and researcher training, support for choosing the journals where to publish, dissemination, and promotion of scientific knowledge within FAIR principles. The social and academic impact of the research line provides some light on the national landscape for research innovation and broadens horizons and sheds when combining IL with Open Science. Thus, the creation of this research line within the research center shows that the association of Open Science with IL can be considered as the path and object of applied research.

Purpose This paper aims to describe the evolution of scientific communication, largely represented by the publication process. It notes the disappearance of the traditional publication on paper and its progressive replacement by electronic publishing, a new paradigm implying radical changes in the whole mechanism. It aims also at warning the scientific community about the dangers of some new avenues and why, rather than subcontracting an essential part of its work, it must take back full control of its production. Design/methodology/approach The paper reviews the emerging concepts in scholarly publication and aims to answer frequently asked questions concerning free access to scientific literature as well as to data, science and knowledge in general. Findings The paper provides new observations concerning the level of compliance to institutional open access mandates and the poor relevance of journal prestige for quality evaluation of research and researchers. The results of introducing an open access policy at the University of Liège are noted. Social implications Open access is, for the first time in human history, an opportunity to provide free access to knowledge universally, regardless of either the wealth or the social status of the potentially interested readers. It is an essential breakthrough for developing countries. Originality/value Open access and Open Science in general must be considered as common values that should be shared freely. Free access to publicly generated knowledge should be explicitly included in universal human rights. There are still a number of obstacles hampering this goal, mostly the greed of intermediaries who persuade researchers to give their work for free, in exchange for prestige. The worldwide cause of Open Knowledge is thus a major universal issue for the twenty-first century.

Opening Up

Open science hardware (OSH) is a term frequently used to refer to artifacts, but also to a practice, a discipline and a collective of people worldwide pushing for open access to the design of tools to produce scientific knowledge. The Global Open Science Hardware (GOSH) movement gathers actors from academia, education, the private sector and civil society advocating for OSH to be ubiquitous by 2025. This paper examines the GOSH movement’s emergence and main features through the lens of transitions theory and the grassroots innovation movements framework. GOSH is here described embedded in the context of the wider open hardware movement and analyzed in terms of framings that inform it, spaces opened up for action and strategies developed to open them. It is expected that this approach provides insights on niche development in the particular case of transitions towards more plural and democratic sociotechnical systems.

The relevance of the study is due, on the one hand, to the insufficient knowledge of the semiotics of the Yakut epos olonkho, and on the other, the need to implement a new paradigm of modern science, which involves the convergence of scientific knowledge. It is noted that the fundamental categories in the worldview are the modes of space and time, which in total lead to another mode of being - a chronotope. The subject of this article is the codes of cosmological mythology in the texts of the epic olonkho from the perspective of a peculiar spatio-temporal organization of the epic world of olonkho. The purpose of the study is to decode the elements of mythology, as a result of which “compressed” messages about scientific knowledge that indicate the existence of a single source of typology of culture are found. Particular attention is paid to the variety of codes, the rules for their emergence, taking into account the national characteristics of language and thinking. A systematic approach to the subject of study, structural-semiotic analysis, methods of review and description are used in the study. The novelty of the study is in an attempt to partially solve the problem of the disunity of two types of cultures (folklore and fundamental laws of nature) in the context of a general typology of culture. This study indicates the prospects for further consideration and definition of the elements of a peculiar symbolic-semiotic system of space-time organization in the texts of the Yakut epos olonkho.

RESUMO:O modelo de Ciência Aberta, erguido da vontade de democratizar a produção e acesso ao conhecimento científico, surgiu no início do novo milênio como forma de combater o obsoletismo e fechamento da cultura acadêmica tradicional. Mais de uma década depois, cedendo não só às suas fraquezas idiossincráticas, como também à indústria parasitária e do lucro, o modelo de Ciência Aberta passou a enfrentar quatro grandes desafios que são simultaneamente um problema de (des)acreditação do conhecimento produzido, de informalidade das estruturas de avaliação e validação, de comodificação do conhecimento, e de predação do modelo de acesso aberto. Neste texto tentamos perceber aquilo que está na base desses desafios. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: ciência aberta; desafios; (des)acreditação; informalidade; comodificação; predação.   ABSTRACT: The Open Science model arose in the beginning of the new millennium from the will to democratize the production and access to scientific knowledge, as a means to fight the obsolete/closed character of traditional academic culture. After more than a decade, conceding not only to its own idiosyncratic weaknesses, but also to a profit-seeking industry, the open science model now simultaneously faces four major challenges: the (dis)accreditation of the scientific knowledge produced, the informality of its validation structures, the commodification of knowledge, and the predation of the open access model. In this essay, we try to understand the basis of these challenges. KEYWORDS: open science, challenges; (dis)accreditation, informality, commodification; predation.

<p>The EU project ENVRI-FAIR builds on the Environmental Research Infrastructure (ENVRI) community that includes principal European producers and providers of environmental research data and research services. The ENVRI community integrates the four subdomains of the Earth system - Atmosphere, Ocean, Solid Earth, and Biodiversity/Terrestrial Ecosystems. The environmental research infrastructures (RI) contributing to ENVRI-FAIR have developed comprehensive expertise in their fields of research, but their integration across the boundaries of applied subdomain science is still not fully developed. However, this integration is critical for improving our current understanding of the major challenges to our planet such as climate change and its impacts on the whole Earth system, our ability to respond and predict natural hazards, and our understanding and preventing of ecosystem loss.</p><p> </p><p>ENVRI-FAIR targets the development and implementation of the technical framework and policy solutions to make subdomain boundaries irrelevant for environmental scientists, and prepare Earth system science for the new paradigm of Open Science. Harmonization and standardization activities across disciplines together with the implementation of joint data management and access structures at RI level facilitate the strategic coordination of observation systems required for truly interdisciplinary science. ENVRI-FAIR will finally create an open access hub for environmental data and services provided by the contributing environmental RIs, utilizing the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) as Europe´s answer to the transition to Open Science.</p><p> </p>
