[CODATA-international] UNESCO Global Consultations on Open Science - Diagram Paul Berkman adapted

Fri May 1 05:37:41 EDT 2020

Good morning Paul, Kassim and Florian,

This morning I woke up with the idea of adapting the figure and add the
remark of Florian, and add another piece related to transparency and timely
communication to the various stakeholders. Now, behind my computer I just
read the comments of Kassim in the same direction. Furthermore, the process
includes capacity building of other stakeholders (e.g. ministerial
departments), and Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning should be added. I also
think that research finalize their product with evidence. I kept the pyramid
as basis because a circular model which is it in essence would became less
clear. Hence, my suggestion would be

I’m interested in such a valuable diagram because in the past I used
Multiple goal linear programming as tool to provide options for sustainable
land use (Mali & Egypt), and currently I focus on bringing action data from
multi-disciplinary projects in less developed countries together to find
options for synergy and alignment to boost triple impact (People, Planet,
Prosperity). We therefore developed the online Development Synergy and
Alignment Tool (DevSAT®). Unfortunately, I agree with Hilde from Brazil that
not all organizations are willing to share their results (despite their work
is paid with public funds and their results could support others in similar
agro-ecological and economic conditions).

Looking forward to your reactions.

Kind regards, 

Dr. Niek van Duivenbooden

Urgentie: Hoog

Hi Kassim and Florian,

Thank you for your kind collaboration.

I appreciate your important observations, as the figure is being applied,
trained and refined, with the goal of contributing to informed
decisionmaking in our globally-interconnected civilization.  Building common
interests and enhancing research activities are most certainly iterative
activities in an international, interdisciplinary and inclusive (holistic)
manner.  The suggestion of circular is excellent!  

I look forward to continuing dialogue about the development of informed
decisions (which operate across a ‘continuum of urgencies’ short-term to
long-term), as characterized with science diplomacy, “for the benefit of all
on Earth across generations.”

I hope all is going well.  Stay healthy!!!

With best regards,

Paul

PS  The theory, methods and skills with informed decisionmaking are still in
their infancy and your feedback is most welcome.  Please find attached the
initial Science <https://science.sciencemag.org/content/358/6363/596>
paper, where the figure was introduced in 2017, and subsequent book series
preface that was published in January 2020 in the first volume
<https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030256739>  of Informed Decisionmaking
for Sustainability.  Training also is emerging with the United Nations
Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), as illustrated last week with

I had exactly the same concern, Florian. The solution could be to drop the
two unidirectional arrows and add arrows to the triangle in a clockwise
direction. There are many other alternatives to graphically present the
general framework that challenges trigger problems/questions, then based on
available data and knowledge we devise models/solutions which feed into our
decision making systems. At some point these models/solutions become
obsolete as new data attributes and knowledge arrive, entailing novel
approaches. Such is the iterative cycle of scientific enhancement. Best
wishes and stay safe.

Dear Paul, dear all,

just a quick shot observation from one of the silent listeners on this
channel...

What I am missing on the illustration is the recognition of the importance
of feedback in this context. 

The pyramid and the one-way arrows make it look very linear /
one-directional, which likely falls short.

Kind regards, stay healthy!

Importance: High

Hi Geoffrey,

For the report to UNESCO, in view of open science contributing to informed
decisions – which operate across a ‘continuum of urgencies’ short-term to
long-term – it may be helpful to consider the methodology of informed
decisionmaking (following figure): 

The above methodology with associated skills and theory of informed
decisionmaking evolved from
<https://sites.tufts.edu/sciencediplomacy/files/2019/02/Synthesis_1.pdf>
2016 discussions with INGSA and were introduced
<https://science.sciencemag.org/content/358/6363/596> Science with
subsequent elaboration.  Informed decisionmaking is now being trained with
the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) as well as
with national diplomatic academies, triangulating education, research and
leadership with lifelong learning in support of the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization goals.

I hope all is going well.  Stay healthy!!!

Paul

Colleagues 

Note that ISC is producing a major paper for UNESCO on this topic. It would
be sensible at a later stage to have a conversation between ISC and CODATA
about how each might add complementary value. It might even be worth
thinking about sending inputs from them in together, with some linking text.

UNESCO has launched a global consultation on Open Science
<https://en.unesco.org/science-sustainable-future/open-science/consultation>
https://en.unesco.org/science-sustainable-future/open-science/consultation
with a view to developing a standard-setting instrument in the form of a
Recommendation, to be adopted by the UNESCO General Conference in November
2021.

CODATA has been invited to contribute to this process, to provide inputs
from the organisation and to mobilise our global expert community.

H3: Global Consultations on Open Science 

To build a global consensus on Open Science, the development of the UNESCO
Recommendation on Open Science relies on an inclusive, transparent and
consultative process involving all countries and all stakeholders.

The Recommendation is expected to define shared values and principles for
Open Science, and point to concrete measures on Open Access and Open Data
with proposals for action to bring citizens closer to science, and
commitments for a better distribution and production of science in the
world.

The process of drafting the Recommendation is regionally balanced, highly
inclusive and collaborative. It involves multiple stakeholders and is
expected to lead to the adoption of the Recommendation by UNESCO Member
States in 2021.

In developing the Open Science Recommendation, UNESCO is gathering inputs
from all the regions and all the interested stakeholders, through online
consultations, regional and thematic meetings and numerous debates on
implications, benefits and challenges of Open Science across the globe.

H3 Online Consultation

Are you a scientist, a publisher, a science policy maker or someone with
experience and interest in Open Science? Your input is important to the
UNESCO process. 

Please participate in the survey designed to collect inputs for the
development of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science.  The survey may be
completed (in English, French or Spanish) either online or downloading
documents to be returned to the UNESCO team at
<mailto:openscience at unesco.org> openscience at unesco.org

For all links and further information please see the page on the UNESCO
website:
<https://en.unesco.org/science-sustainable-future/open-science/consultation>
https://en.unesco.org/science-sustainable-future/open-science/consultation

The deadline for submitting inputs is 15 June 2020.

H3 Thematic and regional meetings

UNESCO will hold a series of online and face to face consultations to
support an open debate on Open Science awareness, understanding and policy
development to feed into the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science. In this
context, a series of regional and thematic consultations are being
organized. For more information see the page on the UNESCO website or
contact the UNESCO team at  <mailto:openscience at unesco.org>
openscience at unesco.org

UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science will complement the 2017
Recommendation on Science and Scientific Research. It will also build upon
the UNESCO Strategy on Open Access to Scientific Information and Research
and the new UNESCO Recommendation on Open Educational Resources.

website:
