Aims & Objectives

Open Science fosters research communication that is inclusive, effective, and conducive to collaboration and discovery across fields and locations. The Working Group on Open Science aims to inform current transformations in publication systems, institutions and technologies by (1) garnering and voicing young researchers’ views on which scientific outputs should be disseminated, how, to whom and with which expectations; (2) investigating the challenges and opportunities involved in implementing Open Science mandates across highly diverse research environments; (3) promoting Open Science mandates across the GYA membership and collaborators.

********************************************************************************************

The GYA Open Science working group is working together with key stakeholders in the Open Science movement and is actively promoting policy change towards Open Science. We promote an inclusive approach towards Open Science, with a special focus on Open Access, Open Data, Open Software and a new initiative on Open Conferences. While policy change towards Open Science is in full swing, we are also working to increase awareness of Open Science and its uptake by (young) scientists.

We have an ongoing collaboration with CODATA (Committee on Data of the International Council for Science) and the Research Data Alliance towards developing international training and policy guidelines on Open Data.

In 2019, the GYA – led by its Open Science working group – joined forces with COAlition S to develop a Plan S Monitor Task Force.

In 2020, the GYA became part of a consortium, led by F1000 Research, a leading Open Access publisher, and also including Eurodoc and LIBER as partners, that was awarded a contract to build and promote the European Commission’s free Open Access publishing platform for scientific articles – Open Research Europe.

You can discover more about this project on the GYA/F1000/Open Research Europe resource page.

In 2020, group members also joined the newly-established Global working group on Open Science, corrdinated by the GYA and including members from the GYA as well as from 25 National Young Academies from all over the world.

In 2022/23, the group will organise an Open Science workshop at the 2023 GYA Young Scientists Conference in Kigali, Rwanda, in June; organise a series of speakers on open science issues throughout the year, and conduct a literature survey examining whether data reuse is more prevalent in certain geographic regions within the life sciences.

Moreover, from February 2023, the group’s co-lead Stephanie Jurburg  is representing the GYA on the ALLEA Open Science Task Force. GYA alumnus Koen Vermeir had previously held this position.

Outcomes

2022

In December, working grop co-lead Stephanie Jurburg was appointed as one of the Research Data Alliance’s ambassadors for 2023. Her project will focus on improving the accessibility of microbial sequence data worldwide, from data archiving to data reuse.

In December, the Journal of Science Policy & Governance (JSPG), UNESCO, and the Major Group for Children and Youth (MGCY) released a Special Topic Issue on Open Science Polices as an Accelerator for Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, for which the GYA working group on Open Science had acted as an outreach partner.

In September 2022, group co-lead Natasha Gownaris and group member Luciana Balboa gave a presentation on barriers to open science implementation towards the SDGs at the GYA online event “Young and Global – A perspective on today’s challenges in science” together. This event was part of the Science Summit of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA77). Read more about the session and watch the full presentation here.

In August, Jim Curtiss, GYA Communications Officer, explained how Open Research Europe addresses the current ‘peer review crisis’ in a blog post here.

Group members, together with members from the Global working group on Open Science, have led the publication of two articles on Open Science in CODATA, one on “Open Science – For Whom?” and another on “Barriers to Full Participation in the Open Science Life Cycle among Early Career Researchers“.

2021

In 2021, the GYA joined several young academies and science organisations from around the world in signed up to a statement on “Article-Processing Charges (APC) Policies on Open Access (OA) Publishing Model: the Impact on Developing Countries and the Need for a Multilateral Solution”. This initiative arose from a group of young scientists who are members of the TWAS Young Affiliates Network (TWAS-TYAN) and the Argentinian Young Academy (AJA).

2020

GYA alumna Sabina Leonelli (UK) represented the GYA within the Open Science Policy Platform of the European Commission from 2016-2020. The Platform’s final report can be accessed here.

Former working group co-lead Koen Vermeir (France) participated in the UNESCO Virtual Ministerial Dialogue on COVID-19 and “Open Science” held on 30 March 2020.

Former working group co-lead Koen Vermeir (France) delivered the opening keynote speech at the meeting on “Changing publication practices – From predatory to Plan S” organized by the Belgian Young Academy (Jonge Academie) and the Belgian Academy of Medicine in Brussels, Belgium, in February 2020.

2019

Former working group co-lead Koen Vermeir (France) attended the ‘Open Science Coordination in Europe’ meeting in Helsinki, Finland, in October, where the new network of national open science coordinators was inaugurated. He also represented the GYA at the meeting of the Open Science Policy Platform (OSPP) of the European Commission in Helsinki.

In October 2019, group members contributed to the “Stakeholder Consultation on the Report by the Expert Group on the Future of Scholarly Publishing and Scholarly Communication (E03463), European Commission, Directorate-General for Research and Innovation 2019”; see here.

In September, former working group co-lead Koen Vermeir (France) spoke about Plan S at the 2019 Open Science Fair.

Group co-lead Abel Polese (Estonia) attended the African Open Science Platform (AOSP) Delivery Phase Planning Workshop in Alexandria, Egypt, in early September 2019. The purpose of this workshop was to deliberate on and design the implementation phase of the AOSP initiative with key regional stakeholders and international representatives. For more details, please see here for Abel’s meeting report.

Working group member Koen Vermeir (France) represented the GYA at the European Commission’s Open Science Policy Platform (OSPP) meeting in Bucharest, Romania, in April 2019, where the future of scholarly communication and new indicators for open science were discussed.

Working group member Koen Vermeir (France) attended the Society for Scholarly Publishing Conference on ‘Bringing Value in Academic Publishing: Practical Solutions for Thriving in a Changing Environment‘ in Berlin, Germany, in January 2019.

GYA alumna Sabina Leonelli was interviewed on the “Early-career researchers’ response to Plan S” for the International Science Council’s “Plan S” blog.

2018

Members of this group coordinated the drafting and publication of the Joint Young Academies Statement on ‘Opportunities and Challenges for Implementing Plan S – The View of Young Academies’ in October 2018, which is the result of discussions among several European young academies and the GYA.

GYA alumna Sabina Leonelli acted as one of the rapporteurs for the Open Science Policy Platform Recommendations published in May 2018. They can be accessed here.

Several members of the Open Science group were involved in the publication of the 2018 report on “Global Access to Research Software: The Forgotten Pillar of Open Science Implementation” by the GYA working group on Global Access to Research Software (March 2018).
