What is Open Science?Open science is the movement to make scientific research, data and dissemination accessible to all levels of an inquiring society, amateur or professional. It encompasses practices such as publishing open research, campaigning for open access, encouraging scientists to practice open notebook science, and generally making it easier to publish and communicate scientific knowledge

Public Engagement with Open Science
Sharing concepts, ideas, and data openly on the Internet can result in intellectual property abuse, and excessive engagement in social media may cause a loss of reputation among peers.
However, when practiced skillfully, Public Science 2.0 is likely to inspire lay-people and researchers alike.

Wikipedia and open knowledge: another form of communication
We need more diverse institutional forms so that researchers can find (or found) the kinds of organizations that best channel their passions into contributions that enrich us all

Wikipedia and University: an increasing relationship
Where Wikipedia has poor-quality articles, we should regard it as a great opportunity.
Researchers and educators, especially in social science, should get involved in improving the site both for - its educational value and - to promote their areas of study
to a truly global audience.

Science, Scientists and Wikipedia: an enticing subject in a complex world
• Multlinguism needs energy, time and sometimes money.
• Writing science entries in Wikipedia needs energy and time: one must write accurately and the task is endless
• Both should be handled in a low-cost way

Where is Wikipedia along the Gartner Cycle?

Charles Darwin would…
Blog Twitter, facebook, instagram…Wikipedia sister projectsBut perhaps not wikipedia itself!... Except on other subjects

Wikipedia…
• Is an encyclopaedia, not a journal where to publish original research or a magazine to publish opinion (that’s what blog are for, aren’t they?)
• Content must provide proper references• The concept of “our Wikipedia page” does not
exist
![Page 15: Ciencia i Viquipèdia](https://reader035.vdocuments.co/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58818e291a28ab0d358b4e49/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How can we use Wikipedia to impact Society?• Scientists:
– Fer servir llicències Creative Commons/coneixement obert– Conèixer i fer servir projectes associats a Wikipedia– Curar contingut, recerca de la integració– Crear entrades de nivell menys elevat
• Non Scientists:– Llegir i criticar la dificultat de les entrades– Crear contingut planer per a altres no científics– Traduir– Incrementar la cultura científica (+formació)
• Prolific Wikipedia contributors & editors:– Ampliar la base d’editors, seguir conscienciant– Contribuir al canvi a les universitats, a l’educació

A few clues about OK & W• Open Knowledge does not mean
Understanding by All• Sometimes (or often) it is better that someone
outside the actual field of knowledge provides dissemination (e.g., Martin Gadner & math)
• Entries should have a general-public level
![Page 17: Ciencia i Viquipèdia](https://reader035.vdocuments.co/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58818e291a28ab0d358b4e49/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Schools should be able to edit Wikipedia and/or curate open content – a new competence of citizens
• Scientits, university students, scholars, curious-minded people... Everyone is key to disseminate open knowledge
• Wikipedia is currently one of the key aspects of freedom
• Do not say “there’s an error” – correct it!
A few clues about OK & W

Wikpedia and Science
• Indeed multilingualism generates challenges, and scientific concepts cause an even more challenging task. Actually Sciene in wikipedia has a heterogeneous level and the amount of entries is much lower that in other fields of knowledge.

Wikpedia and Science
• Wikipedia and Open Knowledge allow anyone to access available knowledge, but also allow anyone to communicate it. This is doubly democratic idealism, indeed. We need more diverse institutional forms so that researchers can find (or found) the kinds of organizations that best channel their passions into contributions that enrich us all
![Page 20: Ciencia i Viquipèdia](https://reader035.vdocuments.co/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58818e291a28ab0d358b4e49/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Wikpedia and Science
• Scientists still face critical barriers to change, which are not technical or financial; they are social. Although scientists guard the status quo, they also have the power to change it.

On the social impact of Open Knowledge
• Knowledge economy has been too restricted so far to a particular part of the population. Open Courses, Open Educational Resources, Wikipedia, and similar tools empower the underdeveloped and underprivileged parts of the Society.
![Page 22: Ciencia i Viquipèdia](https://reader035.vdocuments.co/reader035/viewer/2022062503/58818e291a28ab0d358b4e49/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
On the social impact of Open Knowledge
• Fast access to the Internet is becoming ubiquous, and mobile phones are becoming more affordable. Furthermore, video creation and consumption has reached a wide level of simplicity. However, clever use of technology and Internet access is still dividing social groups – if not widening.

On the social impact of Open Knowledge
• Provinding new opportunities and building bridges betwen citizens and educators (at all levels, including continued education) is likely to close the digital divide. Research and innovation in Open Knowledge seems to contribute to reinforce those bridges.

On the social impact of Open Knowledge
• Scientists, scholars and universitites lead the rankings of public perception, and people trust them. It is their duty to pursue an improvement using the tools provided by the Internet, so their advances, their creation of knowledge and their mastery of academic fields be used effectively by anyone, anytime, anywhere.

SOThere are many reasons to communicate science openly in the Net, they are
APPEALINGCommunicating openly Science means having the right attitude, rather than having the
suitable resources.
WHY DON’T YOUPublish n open-access journals, start a blog, open a twitter account or set up
instragram photostream - And edit Wikipeida
ANDTackle an idea, talk about an event, deal with a moment in history, criticize science in
newspapers and media, curate content
AND PLEASE SHARE This talk

Key ideas to (tweet and to) take away• The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds
new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny ...‘ (Isaasc Asimov) (also “Oh My God!, as noted by Nobel Prize S Glashow)
