The humanities reflect a great disciplinary diversity, marked by different practices of knowledge production, which do not have a deep-rooted tradition of using computer-based methods in their research processes. Digital Humanities (DH) follow an interdisciplinary orientation, which can bring together a series of experimental approaches to some central questions of the humanities, applying computational methods, but not only. DH are comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and heterogeneous and are characterized by a great diversity of practices, which correspond to different epistemic cultures. The discourse around Open Science (OS) seems to reflect a more focused discourse on scientific research and communication practices, fundamentally inspired by the hard sciences, which does not seem to consider the peculiarities and characteristics of the digital humanities fully. The main goal of this work is to reflect on the inclusion of the epistemic cultures of DH in the OS discourse. As specific goals, it is proposed (i) to describe the concept of epistemic cultures, particularly in DH, (ii) to identify the approaches adopted by OS and relate them to those of DH, and (iii) to discuss the need for the existence of a discourse dedicated to the opening of the humanities and to prove that DH contributes to it. An exploratory qualitative approach was adopted, by conducting a literature review aiming to contextualize the approach of epistemic cultures, particularly about DH and its relationship with OS. The practices and environment for building scientific knowledge of DH were related to the principles of OS, considering the multidimensionality of the scientific communication system. The conclusion is that the OS adopts a unified view of science, not considering the different epistemic cultures, especially about the digital humanities, and therefore, a specific discourse around the opening of the scientific process in this area is necessary. 2D12-DBCD-3A21 | Beatriz Lourenço Barrocas Neves Ferreira info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

On March 24, 2016, by Council of Ministers Resolution nº 21/2016, the Government of Portugal, through the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education (MCTES), announced scientific commitment to the principles and practices of Open Science. The same resolution mandated MCTES to create an Inter-ministerial Working Group with the mission of presenting a proposal for a Strategic Plan to implement a National Open Science Policy. The organization of the Working Group included four subgroups – Open Access and Open Data, Infrastructures and Digital Preservation, Scientific Evaluation, and Scientific Social Responsibility. The objective of this work is to present the set of recommendations that the subgroup of Scientific Evaluation, in conjunction with the others, considers fundamental for implementation of Open Science practices, which is aimed at political agents as well as producing entities, evaluators, and scientific financiers., El 24 de marzo de 2016, por medio de la Resolución del Consejo de Ministros n. 21/2016, el Gobierno de Portugal, a través del Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnología y Educación Superior (MCTES), anunció el compromiso de la ciencia con los principios y prácticas de Ciencia abierta. La misma resolución obligó al MCTES a crear un Grupo de Trabajo Interministerial con la misión de presentar una propuesta de Plan Estratégico para la implementación de una Política Nacional de Ciencia Abierta. El grupo de trabajo incluyó cuatro subgrupos: acceso abierto y datos abiertos, infraestructura y preservación digital, evaluación científica y responsabilidad social. En este artículo se presenta el conjunto de recomendaciones que el subgrupo de evaluación científica, en articulación con los demás, considera fundamentales para la implementación de prácticas de ciencia abierta, dirigidas a los agentes políticos, así como a las entidades productoras, evaluadoras y financiadoras de la ciencia.

Resumen Estudio preliminar sobre el impacto de la Ciencia Abierta en todo el ciclo científico, desde el inicio de la investigación hasta su publicación, buscando comprender, describir y explicar las percepciones de un grupo de investigadores sobre el ecosistema de la Ciencia Abierta. Se utilizó una metodología cualitativa, mediante entrevista semiestructurada. Los resultados identifican las dudas de los investigadores sobre el cumplimiento de las premisas de la ciencia abierta. La sistematización de sus ideas permite cuestionar si estarán preparados para estas nuevas experiencias en el campo de la ciencia y si tendrán las habilidades necesarias para garantizar su autonomía en la identificación de dónde publicar, cómo publicar, cómo gestionar los datos de investigación, cómo difundir los resultados de la investigación, cómo y por qué elegir los canales formales e informales de la ciencia, cómo utilizar las tecnologías en beneficio de su visibilidad y, finalmente, cómo asegurar la continuidad de su producción científica. El nuevo lenguaje utilizado también plantea muchas dificultades para los investigadores. Por ello, la creación de programas de formación para investigadores es un objetivo estratégico en los procesos de implementación de este paradigma de la ciencia. ABSTRACT: Preliminary study on the impact of Open Science in the scientific cycle, from the beginning of the research to its publication, seeking to know, describe and explain the perceptions of a group of researchers regarding the Open Science ecosystem. A qualitative methodology was used, through a semi-structured interview. The results identify the researchers' doubts regarding the fulfilment of Open Science's premises. The systematization of their ideas allows us to question if they are prepared for these new experiences in the field of science and if they have the skills to ensure their autonomy to identify where to publish, how to publish, how to manage scientific data, how to disseminate research results, how and why to choose formal and informal channels of science, how to use technologies for the benefit of their visibility and, finally, how to ensure the perennity of their scientific production. Also, the new language used in Open Science raises many difficulties for researchers. Creating training programs for researchers is a strategic goal for the implementation process of this science paradigm. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
