CIS @ EASST – 4S

What do we do about open science platforms?

In July, 2024, researchers from CIS – Simon Apartis and Ramya Chandrasekhar – joined their usual band of collaborators, to organise a closed panel at the EASST-4S conference in Amsterdam.

This conference marked the 2024 quadrennial joint meeting of the European Association for the Study of Science and Technology (EASST) and the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S). The theme of the conference was ‘Making and doing transformations’ in an era of grand societal challenges.

As part of this conference, Simon and Ramya helped co-organise and presented their research in a closed panel titled ‘Open Science Platforms: Empowering the digital transformation of science?‘ Open science platforms are transforming research workflows, audiences and their practices, and eventually science as a whole as well as its relation to society. Looking at these open science platforms, the panel sought to open up a broader discussion on the practices of making and doing openness in science.

The panel was convened by Marcel Wrzesinski (Humboldt University Berlin, Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society). The panelists presented findings from case studies relating to institutional repositories, a major open access platform, citizen science, gray policy literature, and clinical trial data sharing platforms – to illustrate how the meaning of “open science” is always ever-renegotiated by stakeholders within the field. The panelists discussed theoretical reflections, empirical material, and social interventions from different perspectives as a means to problematize open science platforms, recognise their situatedness within the knowledge economy and their variegated governance practices, and propose strategies for openness and inclusivity.

This panel follows from an earlier gathering at the annual CIS conference of 2023, held in Paris. Simon Apartis and Simon Dumas Primbault convened a panel on ‘Assessing impact, sharing control : analyzing multi-stakeholder relationships in open science infrastructures‘ – which marked the start of Savoir Partages, a research project that curated eight public discussions on the open use of science and knowledge sharing in the digital age in a variety of social contexts, involving actors from civil society, doctors, scientists, entrepreneurs, activists, autodidacts, editors, etc., and multiplying exchange and production formats.
