Abstract
ARZA, Valeria; FRESSOLI, Mariano and LOPEZ, Emanuel. Ciencia abierta en Argentina: un mapeo de experiencias actuales. Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2017, n.55, pp.78-114. ISSN 1851-1716.
Open science refers to produce scientific knowledge collaboratively with actors that do not belong to a research project creating freely available research outcomes. Its benefits range from promoting greater efficiency and quality in the production of scientific knowledge to generating greater democratization of knowledge providing better response to social demands. This study discusses the extent and characteristics of open science practices in Argentina using a survey conducted among 1463 researchers working in the public research organizations. Although there is some misperception among researchers about what open science actually means, many of them showed interest in these practices. Since «interacting with other» is familiar to researchers’ scientific practices, we believe there is good potential for the promotion of open science through public policy schemes.
