Political dimension in the open science's movement
Keywords:
Open science; political dimension; development model; research; technological and scientific knowledgeAbstract
Nowadays, it is common to refer to Open Science as a global movement, essentially apolitical, that emerges in defense of freedom and scientific independence in the face of its commercialization.
Contrarily, this article argues that Open Science is a field crossed by ideological confrontations. In this sense, the authors try to promote the debate related to the political dimension of Open Science, to generate a better understanding of the role of the States' political approaches in the face of the Open Science movement promoted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
Consequently, the research highlights that the policy on Open Science assumed by the Nation-States is impregnated by political considerations that are ultimately those that establish the criteria that determine the promotion or adaptation of this novel scientific movement.
Therefore, beyond having an established tradition of carrying out scientific research, have published policy documents on Open Science, have Open Science plans and strategies, participate in the activities promoted by the UNESCO related to Open Science awareness; the truth is that the findings that emerge from this analysis reveal that Open Science is not an absolute priority for all States.
