Introduction

In November 2021, UNESCO unanimously approved a document that outlines 
recommendations for achieving open, universal, and equitable science. In 
this regard, open science has been defined as an inclusive construct 
that combines various movements and practices to make multilingual 
scientific knowledge openly available, accessible, and reusable for 
everyone. The aim is to enhance scientific collaboration, information 
exchange for the benefit of science and society, and to open up the 
processes of creating, evaluating, and communicating scientific 
knowledge to actors beyond the traditional scientific community. These 
objectives affect all scientific disciplines and are supported by the 
following key pillars:

● Open scientific knowledge
● Open scientific infrastructure
● Open engagement of social actors
● Open dialogue with other knowledge systems

Open scientific knowledge is understood as a common good to which all 
sectors of society should have access without discrimination. According 
to UNESCO's definition, open scientific knowledge refers to open access 
to scientific publications, research data, metadata, open educational 
resources, open-source software and hardware, available in the public 
domain or under open licenses that allow reuse.
In this special issue, we invite submissions addressing topics related 
to open knowledge, considering the following key components on which 
significant progress has been made, as well as other aspects to discuss 
in light of the evolution of open science in recent years:
● Open access to scientific production: policies in favor of open access
● Diamond journals
● Preprints and overlay journals
● Open research data: management and preservation
● Open infrastructures and interoperability
● Models for evaluating scientific activity based on open science and 
responsible metrics
● Training and skills in new careers related to science and data management
● National or institutional policies to promote, foster, and implement 
open science in all its components
