Good Morning Dora,
Thank you for your interesting observations. Do you include politics as part of the human factor? This is something I have discussed with Paul many times.

Dear all,
I have collaborated with CODATA in the past and with time became a silent reader of the list. I work with online, free, and open biodiversity information systems in Brazil, so what I have to say is based on this experience.

To me, the diagram presented is very linear, going from hypothesis to data that contextualized produces evidence that can lead to a number of options and to informed decisions. It leaves out interaction at all levels, networking, communication, "the human factor". I believe a circular representation would help, with all elements interacting and feeding into and communicating through information/data e-infrastructures.

All the best,
Dora

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


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



[cid:image004.png at 01D61FAC.EA899750]



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

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 Science Diplomacy and Informed Decisionmaking during our Global Pandemic<https://www.unitar.org/event/full-catalog/science-diplomacy-and-informed-decision-making-during-our-global-pandemic>.

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!

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):



[cid:image001.jpg at 01D61EC5.25065190]



The above methodology with associated skills and theory of informed decisionmaking evolved from 2016 discussions with INGSA<https://sites.tufts.edu/sciencediplomacy/files/2019/02/Synthesis_1.pdf> and were introduced Science<https://science.sciencemag.org/content/358/6363/596> 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!!!



With best regards,



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 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 openscience at unesco.org<mailto: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



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 openscience at unesco.org<mailto: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.



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



Thanks,

Asha
