Building University Knowledge Infrastructure by Promoting Open Research
This paper studies the issue of open science from a cultural perspective,taking open research as the specific practice and behavioral norms of open science.The first part discusses the role of the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment and the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information in overcoming academic evaluation bias and the scientific divide formed by proprietary and closed commercial databases,and believes that it is not just technical and normative issues that hinder the realization of open research.The second part focuses on research culture.After analyzing the case of the University of Edinburgh in promoting research culture,the author believes that the process of promoting open research is a complex and multidimensional process that cannot be achieved by a few projects.It requires holistic approach,extensive participation,and more importantly,cultural change.In the third part,the author proposes that libraries should make a difference in promoting open research,enhance cooperation in external expansion,develop innovation in research data management,and play a leading role in responsible publishing.Libraries should give full play to their professional advantages,work with administrative departments,scientific research groups and various stakeholders,and work together to build a fully open knowledge infrastructure to make due contributions to the return of academics to the public welfare and the barrier-free dissemination of academics.
