    Contextualizing openness : situating open science
    (University of Ottawa Press, 2019-10-15) Chan, Leslie; Okune, Angela; Hillyer, Rebecca; Posada, Alejandro; Albornoz, Denisse
    Contextualizing Openness offers a fascinating look at Open Science and the democratization of knowledge in international development and social transformation with a focus on the Global South. This volume presents contri¬butions from the 12 projects that form the Open and Collaborative Science in Development Network (OCSDNet) organized around four central themes: Defining Open Sci¬ence in Development, Governing Open Science, Negotiat¬ing Open Science, and Expanding Open Science for Social Transformation. The collective goal is to illustrate how the opportunities and challenges associated with openness vary across regions and, further, to identify the key dif¬ferences that characterize the actors, institutions, as well as the infrastructure and governance of knowledge-based resources in highly diverse settings. To understand the movement toward Open Science and its impact on the thinking and practices that drive development, we must challenge the asymmetry of global knowledge production and of access to this knowledge. Contextualizing Open¬ness aims at stimulating further research and debates how to collectively design a knowledge system that is open and equitable for all.

    Open and collaborative science in development network - final report : catalyzing open and collaborative science to address development challenges
    (2018-02) Amwayi, Jacob; Okune, Angela; Chan, Leslie; Hillyer, Becky; Albornoz, Denisse; Posada, Alejandro
    Inclusive open science involves negotiating and challenging power relations within social contexts, as well as among stakeholders and institutions that variously claim knowledge legitimacy and scientific “neutrality.” The Open and Collaborative Science in Development Network (OCSDNet) consisted of twelve international research teams located in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Teams explored the challenges and opportunities for an open and collaborative science, and the potential of open science to facilitate fair and sustainable development. This final progress report synthesizes insights and lessons learned following an analysis of 12 sub-projects over two years.
