Description
Summary:[...]with open methods and data, institutions, funders, and governments might more easily uncover research misconduct. [...]a global consensus on open science practices and tagging structures and the infrastructure tools to implement them is essential to support attribution and measurement of open science, transparency, and reuse.26 The infrastructure tools must be freely available to enable global implementation while sanctioning misconduct. [...]equity must be at the core of open science, with recommendations and pathways developed with researchers, institutions, funders, and governments to address the long-standing needs and concerns of LMICs.27 Recognising the heterogeneity across different LMICs, there is rarely a one size fits all solution. [...]APCs remain out of reach for many researchers in LMICs: waivers do not apply to many LMICs,28 or can be seen as unwanted charity. [...]active co-leadership is crucial, lest the power imbalance that favours HIC researchers and institutions yields efforts that are not truly equitable.
