2022, https://www.open-science-conference.eu/ Abstract: This
talk will summarise work done within the EC Horizon2020
project ON-MERRIT (2019-2022, https://on-merrit.eu/ ) to
investigate risks of cumulative advantage in the transition
to Open Science. Open Science holds the promise to make
scientific endeavours more inclusive, participatory,
understandable, accessible, and re-usable for large
audiences. However, making processes open will not per se
drive wide re-use or participation unless also accompanied
by the capacity (in terms of knowledge, skills, financial
resources, technological readiness and motivation) to do so.
These capacities vary considerably across regions,
institutions and demographics. Those advantaged by such
factors will remain potentially privileged, putting Open
Science’s agenda of inclusivity at risk of propagating
conditions of “cumulative advantage”. Since 2019, the EC
Horizon2020 project ON-MERRIT has been investigating these
issues using scientometric, sociological and other
approaches to examine how these factor influence the ways in
which Open Science is taken up (and by whom). As ON-MERRIT
concludes, this talk will showcase diverse findings across
areas including OA publishing, rewards and incentives and
participatory methods. I then concludes by presenting
recommendations to mitigate threats co-created with the Open
Science community.},
