Some thoughts about open ccience: a few challenges and a great opportunity for science

Abstract

Open Science focuses on spreading knowledge generated by scientific research as soon as it is available using digital and collaborative technology. The aim is to make science more accessible, inclusive, and equitable for the benefit of all. In this article, I will discuss some of the challenges and opportunities of this approach to the scientific process towards a comprehensive, effective open science from my perspective as a scientist in biology and health sciences. My aim is to share this with the academic community, since as Vice-Rector for Research and as scientist, I think this is one opportunity that we do not want to miss.
