Zhiqi Xu, PhD researcher at the International Institute of Social Science is co-lead and co-first author of this article providing a practical guide on applying and scaling Open Science in developing countries.
Co-authored with 44 scholars from 20 developing countries and published in Advances in Methods and Practice in Psychological Science (Impact Factor 13.4), this paper is an intersectional effort to both examine Open Science through the lens of development, and offer practical solutions.
It grew out of Zhiqi Xu's fieldwork experience in rural China, where she encountered many of the challenges that researchers in developing contexts face when applying Open Science practices.
The article offers a reflection of and engages with questions of accessibility, participation and knowledge sharing. It investigates how knowledge production itself can either reinforce or reduce inequalities.
Although the guide focuses on the Global South, it serves as a practical toolbox that offers a wide range of resources, tools and step-by-step practices for strengthening Open Science.
