• Title: Towards an Open Science definition as a political and legal framework: on the sharing and dissemination of research outputs
• Authors: Teresa Gomez-Diaz and Tomas Recio
• Abstract summary: It is widely recognised nowadays that there is no single, accepted, unified definition of Open Science. It motivates our proposal of an Open Science definition as a political and legal framework where research outputs are shared and disseminated. We elaborate this proposal through a detailed analysis of some selected EC policies and laws as well as of the function of research evaluation practices.

• Abstract: It is widely recognised nowadays that there is no single, accepted, unified definition of Open Science, which motivates our proposal of an Open Science definition as a political and legal framework where research outputs are shared and disseminated in order to be rendered visible, accessible, reusable is developed, standing over the concepts enhanced by the Budapest Open Science Initiative (BOAI), and by the Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) and Open data movements. We elaborate this proposal through a detailed analysis of some selected EC policies and laws as well as of the function of research evaluation practices. The legal aspects considered in our examination include, in particular, the study of the role of licenses in the context of the dissemination of research outputs.

  The use of the open innovation paradigm has been, over the past years, getting special attention in the public sector. It was possible to verify that the use of this paradigm started to be reported with a higher frequency in the literature since 2013. It was also possible to verify that the use of open innovation through social media was one of the pioneer techniques of engagement between the public sector and citizens.

  This article aims to ground what we dub the "participatory turn" in AI design by synthesizing existing theoretical literature on participation. We articulate empirical findings concerning the current state of participatory practice in AI design based on an analysis of recently published research and semi-structured interviews with 12 AI researchers and practitioners.

  The literature on open source ideology is often fragile, or lacking in empirical evidence. We analyzed data from 22 semi-structured interviews and 41 video recordings of Open Source Initiative (OSI) board members' public speeches. An empirical theory of OSS ideology emerged, with six key categories: membership, norms/values, goals, activities, resources, and positions/group relations.

  An alternative to the traditional top-down development of public services is co-creation of public services. Co-creation promotes collaboration between stakeholders with the aim to create better public services and achieve public values. We study existing works on the application of Text Analytics (TA) techniques on text data to support public service co-creation.

  We present SciFact-Open, a new test collection designed to evaluate the performance of scientific claim verification systems. We collect evidence for scientific claims by pooling and annotating the top predictions of four state-of-the-art scientific claim verification models. We find that systems developed on smaller corpora struggle to generalize to SciFact-Open, exhibiting performance drops of at least 15 F1.

• Mapping Climate Change Research via Open Repositories & AI: advantages and limitations for an evidence-based R&D policy-making [0.0]
  In the last few years, several initiatives have been starting to offer access to research outputs data and metadata in an open fashion. These platforms are opening up scientific production to the wider public and they can be an invaluable asset for evidence-based policy-making. To gain a comprehensive view of entire STI ecosystems, the information provided by each of these resources should be combined and analysed accordingly. Here, we study whether this is the case for the case for mapping Climate Action research in the whole Denmark STI ecosystem, by using 4 popular open access STI data sources.
