<p>The phrase "there are legitimate reasons to restrict access to
and reuse of data, including interests of national security, law
enforcement, privacy, confidentiality, intellectual property" has
been part of every declaration on open data of the last decade I
am aware of, which has been (formally) endorsed by major
institutions. At least in the case of those I was involved in, I
happen to know that without it there would have been no
endorsement.</p>
<p>The only part of that phrase I am truly comfortable with is the
word "legitimate": Exactly because the clause is so broad and
vague, and, in the better declarations, it is bracketed by the
principle "as open as possible, as closed as necessary" and the
requirement of "express justification" (in each case), each case
of not disclosing data can be subjected to scrutiny and the onus
is on the person, institution or country holding it back.</p>
<p>Falk made us aware of an interesting article. While it it does
not fully justify the claim in the title that "Most Research Is
Secret" (that may just be true in the US) - it unrolls the
unfortunate consequences of research compromised by secrecy. This
article and its topic of health physics provide a very clear
rationale why, in this case, there was no legitimacy to keeping
research results secret.</p>
<p>It would perhaps be good to assemble a collection of case studies
- such as this one, but also ones that underpin valid, legitimate
reasons *for* restrictions - to help guide the ethically and
scientifically sound evaluation of the justifications of
restrictions. (Of course, such studies would need to be subject
to, preferably open, peer review and/or other quality control, to
avoid being misled by narrative based on false claims.)<br>
</p>
<p>For example, which detrimental things happen when Indigenous
knowledge is made openly available? <br>
I somehow remember a case in the UK, where the tobacco industry
tried to use a "freedom of information" act to get at data from a
study on how juveniles acquired the addiction to smoking - and
anyone can guess how they would have used it. Scientific rules
might have said that data should best be open to scrutiny - but
ethics clearly says: Not so fast!<br>

<div>Dear Kind Colleagues,<br>

</div>
<div>as most people on this listerserver and in agencies
promote the news that we are all moving towards Open
Access, and that things get better that way and more
transparent, or even more</div>
<div>trustworthy,</div>
<div>I would like to share with you below a recent

<div>The Big Secret in the Academy Is That Most Research
Is Secret: The dangerous rift between open and

<div>It deals with Chernobyl as a case study but has
many wider implications and statements within on data
access issues and the sciences, globally.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It mirrors what I know and see, and what I have
expressed last years.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It also reminds of such type of works (see facts
and details within, specifically data and digital
society issues) like:</div>

</div>
<div>The best way to proceed here, in a good way, is to
fully acknowledge the status quo,</div>
<div>and then improve on it dramatically for
betterment. </div>
<div>I lack those acknowledgements though and actions
even, or a valid vision, beyond just arbitrary
piecemeal with many loop holes and ineffciencies.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That's my view.</div>
