Rolul Științei Deschise în universități: o foaie de parcurs pentru schimbare

Abstract

Open Science plays an important role in modernising universities by providing a range of research and educational opportunities. This initiative promotes transparent and non-discriminatory access to research results, thereby strengthening collaboration and innovation in academia. Open Science has a dual role in universities. Internally, Open Science advocates institutional reforms, supporting the adoption of policies and practices that promote open access to research results, research data, scientific and educational publications. This fosters collaboration among members of the academic community. Externally, Open Science can increase the impact and visibility of university research. By providing open access to research results, universities can promote transparency and international collaboration in science, while also stimulating knowledge exchange between different stakeholders. To embed Open Science at an institutional level, higher education institutions must adopt policies and strategies that promote and facilitate Open Science practices. These policies and strategies should include open access to publicly funded research results, adoption of FAIR principles for research data, promotion and development of open educational resources, open evaluation, development of open, shared and interoperable IT infrastructures and tools, etc.
