"INTRODUCTION

The Open Science paradigm has gained considerable importance over the last ten years. The diverse actors in the science system have made great efforts to further develop the Open Science principles.

Global political crises have recently highlighted the areas in which the Open Science community needs to reflect its concerns more intensively.

This “Open Letter” provides an impulse to initiate this reflection.

It focuses on two core theses:

  • Beyond ideological boundaries, the Open Science movement should address the question of whether and, if so, under which framework conditions “closeness” can be appropriate in global, political crises.
  • Openness must not be abused to place sanctions in global, political crises by closing open offers.

The Open Letter takes a closer look at these aspects.

By signing the Open Letter, you express that the Open Science community should continue to develop self-reflectively with regard to the aspects addressed in the Open Letter. In addition, you support that these aspects, which have received little attention so far, are included in the discourse of this successful movement in the future. This will contribute to the Open Science movement having a position in global, political crises in the future and not only developing it when the crisis has already occurred.

The more members of the Open Science community support the Open Letter with their signatures, the more the issues will be brought to the attention of the actors in the science system and the broader the discourse can be.
