ABSTRACT

Recent arguments for responsible innovation to progress beyond the narrow focus on open access and toward open science present the opportunity for a deliberate global transition to a culture of transparent and open scientific conduct that will deliver greater societal benefit. This paper presents results from a survey of 171 Australian scientists, researchers and other professionals on their expectations and perspectives of transparency and openness in current scientific research practice. The results suggest that for this cultural transition to occur, the responsibility for strengthening transparency and openness must be undertaken not only by scientists and researchers, but also research funding and delivery agencies, and even those beyond the research and innovation sector. These findings are a first step towards defining and understanding what open science means in an Australian context, and what shifts are needed from researchers, research institutions and policy makers to move toward open science for responsible innovation.

摘要

最近关于负责任的创新的论点超越了对开放获取的狭focus关注，朝着开放科学的方向发展，这为有意向全球过渡到透明和开放的科学行为文化提供了机会，这将带来更大的社会效益。本文介绍了对171名澳大利亚科学家，研究人员和其他专业人士的调查结果，这些调查涉及他们对当前科学研究实践中的透明度和开放性的期望和观点。结果表明，要实现这种文化过渡，不仅必须由科学家和研究人员，而且还应由研究资金和交付机构，甚至是研究和创新部门以外的机构承担加强透明度和开放性的责任。
