Quo vadis Offene Wissenschaft in Berlin und Brandenburg: Let’s talk! Nr.5 - Open Access und Datentracking - Open Access Brandenburg

Starting with Open Science and data tracking of publishers and the companies behind them, the first part of the conversation covers data tracking tools and methods. Are there alternatives to the current digital infrastructure, or is the continued use of brand-preferred websites and software products a social dilemma? Does scientific culture change work? Controversy surrounds public funding of the publishing structure and parallel funding of decentralized infrastructures without data tracking. What should public funds be spent on? Do DEAL contracts help? How does market power emerge vis-à-vis monopolies? What is the value of open access? We conclude with ideas on regulations and recommendations for the future, as well as advice on avoiding data tracking and open source solutions.
