Open Team Science: a new team-based research methodology for socio-environmen...Yasuhisa Kondo
The document proposes an "Open Team Science" methodology that integrates open science and transdisciplinary research theories to reduce information asymmetry in socio-environmental projects. It applies this methodology to the case of waterweed overgrowth in Lake Biwa, Japan. The methodology engages local stakeholders through civic technology and uses open data sharing, questionnaires, and ideathons to understand different perspectives and collaboratively develop realistic solutions. It aims to overcome gaps in understanding among researchers and actors through methods like transcendence, empowerment, visualization, and dialogue.
Participatory and transdisciplinary aspects of open scieceYasuhisa Kondo
This document discusses participatory and transdisciplinary aspects of open science. It begins by outlining the convergence of open science, open data, open access, citizen science and crowd funding. It then examines how participatory research can promote citizen science through projects like Galaxy Zoo and reconstruction of historical events. The document also presents typologies of research in terms of integration of disciplines and non-academic participation. It argues that transdisciplinary research involves co-design, co-production and co-dissemination of knowledge with societal stakeholders. The document outlines how open data, civic tech and pro bono work can help drive social innovations and presents examples of integrating open governance and open science.
Future of open science in collaboration with societyYasuhisa Kondo
1) Three main topics were discussed in group talks at the workshop: the need to conventionalize open science in different research domains, two functions of citizen science, and the importance of building capacity for "bridging agents" who facilitate interaction between researchers and other societal actors.
2) The two-day workshop in Kyoto involved 37 participants from various backgrounds who discussed open science and collaboration with society. Participants proposed discussion topics which were then discussed in breakout groups.
3) Insights from the workshop included the need to establish open science practices within individual research fields, the dual roles of citizen science in developing infrastructure and enabling social change, and the importance of supporting "bridging agents" as a career to link
