[MGI27-P01] A consideration on the potential economic value and social impact of Open Science
Keywords:Open Science, Research Data Management, FAIR Data Principles
Open science has been mainly discussed in the fields related to computer science, data science and library science. Engagement of the scientist in the other domains like a bioscience geoscience and so on is under development while it is considered to be necessary to optimize the value of open science in the academic field. From my viewpoint of the general Society, however, the value of open science has not been proved with confirmed evidence yet, while In the international science policy area, it seems to be believed to provide a great economic and societal impact in future together with the father development of new research ecosystem platform or infrastructure for scientific data and information and conduct of research.
In the economy area, several considerations on the economic value of open science have been developed. Those include that Important is the balance between private sectors intellectual property control and public investment to science and scientific products. Also quantitative evaluation of the economic value of open science should be important and however It is not an easy work. The data market is attractive for the widely use of artificial intelligence applied to various societal scenes in future, But the types of the processible data is being very limited to now. To enable a wider use of data, the global academic community and sciences are trying to be reformed to obtain a new culture and norm of scientific research and the scientific community. Stakeholders in the society might not be patient. They may not wait for the success of this change of science as a public good as well as getting a new balance of the private and the public Investment.
At present, many building blocks of open science are under development and many things are incomplete. We should be careful that some people may think that this is the sign of uselessness of open science. They might not recognize the basic principle of the modern society that cannot stand without developing and collecting new knowledge and information from the restless progress of the global scientific research. It is an infrastructure for both private and the public activities to enable a value proposition for sustainable development of the human society on our planet.
