Open Science

Dans un contexte marqué par l’évolution des cadres d’évaluation de la recherche — notamment l’intégration de l’intelligence artificielle, les nouveaux indicateurs bibliométriques, les défis technologiques (tels que l’interopérabilité et la conservation des données) et les tensions géopolitiques (restrictions d’accès, souveraineté scientifique) —, les bibliothèques universitaires ont besoin d’infrastructures certifiées, interopérables…

En 2010, face à l’accélération croissante de la recherche et à la pression exercée sur les chercheurs pour produire rapidement des résultats, deux appels en faveur d’une Slow Science sont lancés : l’un par des chercheurs berlinois, et l’autre par Joël Candau, anthropologue à l’Université…

The way we share and apply scientific knowledge is changing, and platforms like Open Research Europe (ORE) are leading the charge. Built on the principles of openness, transparency, and collaboration, ORE is transforming how researchers publish their work and connect with the world. To explore this exciting shift, we’re thrilled…

Digital transformation continues to reshape higher education, expanding access to research, teaching, and learning resources through open approaches. These include Open Access, Open Science, Open Education, Open Infrastructure, Open Innovation, and Open Source and Open Hardware.

In this blog post, we’ll explore seven key aspects of open peer review, its role in research communication, and why it’s gaining traction.

Open Science (OS) promises to democratise knowledge and reduce epistemic inequalities. However, a critical analysis reveals the potential of OS to amplify structural vulnerabilities, especially for people and communities already at the margins.

Citations and metrics are central features in evaluating academic careers. As researchers increasingly engage in open science, data citations have emerged as potential mechanisms for evaluating and rewarding data sharing and reuse in academic assessments.

Before the internet, many disciplines already practiced forms of scholarly communication that evoke what we now call diamond open access. Manuscripts circulated through departmental working papers series (e.g., in economics) and informal scholarly networks — or, as I still remember from my own early career, simply through…

In recent decades, there has been a move to “open” science and research. One component of open access is “accessibility,” often used to mean that data and other products are free to use by others. However, accessibility also refers to considering and meeting the needs of people with disabilities. Our…

The European research landscape stands at a pivotal moment. The European Commission’s consultation for the European Research Area (ERA) Act, finalised on January 23rd, represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to legislate the future of research, innovation, and knowledge circulation across the continent. This wasn’t merely a bureaucratic exercise; it’s a chance…
