UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science

This   Recommendation   outlines   a   common   definition,   shared   values,   principles  and  standards  for  open  science  at  the  international  level  and  proposes a set of actions conducive to a fair and equitable operationalization of  open  science  for  all  at  the  individual,  institutional,  national,  regional  and  international levels.

Citizen science aspects

The  aim  of  this  Recommendation  is  to  provide  an  international  framework  for open science policy and practice that recognizes disciplinary and regional differences  in  open  science  perspectives,  takes  into  account  academic  freedom,  gender-transformative  approaches  and  the  specific  challenges  of  scientists  and  other  open  science  actors  in  different  countries  and  in  particular  in  developing  countries,  and  contributes  to  reducing  the  digital,  technological and knowledge divides existing between and within countries.
