Page 14 - Building a global consensus on Open Science

Current draft of the UNESCO Open Science Recommendation

Open Science refers to an umbrella concept that combines various

movements and practices aiming to:

1

- make scientific knowledge, methods, data and evidence freely

available and accessible for everyone,

2 - increase scientific collaborations and sharing of information for the

benefits of science and society, and

3 - open the process of scientific knowledge creation and circulation to
societal actors beyond the institutionalized scientific community.

4 Scientific outputs should be as open as possible, and only as

closed as necessary, mindful of the issues relating to security,

privacy and respect for subjects of study
