Från artikel i University World News Open science is based on a fundamental principle – that scientific research can and should be produced and understood by anyone and everyone. It must not be restricted to the domain of a few scientists. Scientific hegemony has stagnated intellectual advancement; scientific solutions for regions in the Global South are deliberated in the Global North, without taking into account voices from the affected regions. Traditional practices are treated as inaccurate and indigenous knowledge systems are delegitimised. This has led to a knowledge vacuum and reinforced systemic and patriarchal inequalities in society. This idea has been echoed in the paper, Open Science Beyond Open Access: For and with communities, as part of the global initiative by UNESCO on open science.
