From Scholarly Publishing to Scholarly Communication:A Case Study of Open Science in the European Union
Open science refers to the openness and sharing of the entire process of scientific research,from research design and implementation to analysis and output.Facilitated by digital technology,the European Union implements open science through mandatory regulations for research projects that receive its funding.It requires researchers to publish their articles on open source journals and digital platforms in a bid to resist the monopoly of traditional journals on academic publication.It regards the data and materials emerged during the research process as recognized research outputs.The sharing of such outputs helps to increase the transparency of research process and accelerate innovation by avoiding duplication of labor.It also adopts the practice of open review through which review reports are published and peer review becomes a way for academic community to work together to improve the quality of research.Open science liberates academic communication from narrowly defined academic publishing,thereby breaking the status quo of academic competition and creating a non-competitive research atmosphere.
