Open Science has gained momentum as an essential paradigm in the pursuit of a more equitable society, where knowledge is considered a universal human right. However, we are concerned about how profit-driven motives have infiltrated the academic sphere, primarily through the imposition of Article Processing Charges (APCs) and the restriction of access to information via paywalls. From the perspective of Corporación Discimus and Revista Discimus, these practices undermine the very essence of academia and hinder the free flow of knowledge.
In 2021, UNESCO adopted the Recommendation on Open Science, an international framework designed to make science more accessible, inclusive, and transparent. This recommendation emphasizes the importance of collaboration and information sharing for the advancement of science and societal well-being. Recognizing that gaps in technology and innovation can be reduced both between and within countries, UNESCO advocates for concrete actions to ensure a fair and equitable operationalization of Open Science at global, regional, national, and individual levels. The recommendation promotes open access to scientific publications, research data, and other resources, encouraging broader participation from diverse and underrepresented actors in the scientific community.
