Embora a América Latina tenha sido reconhecida por sua adoção precoce e entusiástica da publicação de acesso aberto, talvez você não saiba que a região também adotou com sucesso a pesquisa aberta de maneira mais ampla. Apoiados por políticas e programas governamentais progressivos que incentivam a colaboração aberta em projetos de pesquisa, a divulgação aberta de resultados e a infraestrutura aberta de informações, países como Brasil e Peru estão liderando o caminho para revolucionar a maneira como a pesquisa é realizada e compartilhada.

While Latin America has long been recognized for its early and enthusiastic adoption of open access publishing, you might not know that the region has also successfully embraced open research more broadly. Supported by progressive government policies and programs that encourage open collaboration in research projects, open dissemination of results, and open information infrastructure, countries such as Brazil and Peru are leading the way in revolutionizing the way research is carried out and shared.

In the post-Cold War era, many observers have conceptualized science as a global activity, with substantial international collaboration, more readily facilitated cross-border scholarly communication, and even UN-level efforts to steer science towards Sustainable Development Goals. But regional differences, geopolitical strains, and challenges to developing a global research infrastructure have all posed challenges to global science. In this webinar, hosted by the Scholarly Kitchen, a panel will consider whether science can ever be truly “global.”

What do researchers think of the current publishing process? How valuable do they find the services that scholarly publishers provide? Which would they keep and which would they change? This panel session features researchers from around the world, who are -- or have been -- also involved in publishing. They will discuss how and why they would like to reimagine scholarly publishing. Expect strong views, unlikely ideas, and lots of inspiration for how to make scholarly publishing the best it can be for the researchers we serve.
