Open Practices, Community-Based Research, and Social Responsibility | University of Oklahoma Libraries

"International Education Week is an annual opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide, and there is much the scholarly community can do to further these aims. Publishing open access is one way, but there is growing recognition of the need for more open, transparent practices across the research lifecycle.

Many use the term “open scholarship” or “open science” to encompass these practices across the applied sciences, natural and social sciences, and the humanities. The 2021 UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science is grounded in five “open” pillars: knowledge, infrastructures, communication, engagement of societal actors, and dialogue with other knowledge systems. These open practices are essential to community-based, socially-responsive research.

We invite you to join us for this virtual panel discussion featuring three leaders in the global advancement of open research practices, who co-authored the 2020 Canadian Commission for UNESCO brief “Open Science Beyond Open Access: For and with Communities, a Step Towards the Decolonization of Knowledge.” The panel discussion will be followed by a question and answer period...."
