abstract = {The goals of open science are, broadly, to democratize
access and to promote good research practices.
Unfortunately, these goals fall short in several key ways,
at the center of which are equity, diversity, and
inclusivity (EDI) not only of the community, but of the
fruits of their labors. Historically, the open science
movement has been dominated by a narrow demographic with the
access and support (institutional and otherwise) to time and
resources they can spend on “open science” efforts. This
monolithic culture has been furthered by (1) a gravitation
of open science efforts on technical solutions and valuation
of technical skills and (2) a reliance on computational
resources that are inaccessible to a large proportion of the
globe. While the community has become more diverse in the
past few years, there is still a long way to go and the
products of open science remain sequestered in the global
North. Furthermore, EDI disparities have been highlighted by
continuing socio-economic issues, recent increases in
related scholarship, and the COVID-19 pandemic, revealing
that our science isn’t as open as it should be. From
culture to reachability, accessibility, there remains a lot
of room for improvement. Failure in achieving EDI goals, not
only hinders science, but imposes clear limitations and
biases in the voices around us and the knowledge we produce.
Science benefits from diversity in perspectives,
experiences, and beliefs, in addition to accessible tools
and reproducible research practices. New ways of thinking,
understanding and learning are needed, new ways of
establishing inclusion as a culture is needed to encourage
and include historically underrepresented people, without
such practices open science would not be as open as it
should be.},
