The ​Scholarly ​Commons: ​Principles ​and ​Practices ​to ​Guide Research ​Communication

The ​Scholarly ​Commons: ​Principles ​and ​Practices ​to ​Guide Research ​Communication

Despite ​available ​technology​ ​and ​major ​disruptions​ ​that ​the ​internet ​brought ​about ​in many​ ​sectors ​of ​modern ​life, ​​scholarly ​communication ​has seen ​change ​at ​glacial​ ​pace. Many​ ​useful, ​laudable ​tools ​and​ ​services​ ​are ​being ​developed ​to ​solve​ ​specific ​issues​ ​for particular ​domain ​groups; however,​ ​the ​question ​of ​how ​these ​efforts ​fit ​together ​remains largely ​unaddressed. ​If ​we ​have ​alternative ​models ​for ​all ​parts​ ​of ​the ​system, ​will​ ​that ​result ​in ​a coherent ​system? ​Will​ ​it ​be ​interoperable? ​Will ​it ​appeal ​to ​people ​as​ ​viable ​alternative? ​Will ​it be ​open ​and ​participatory ​for ​all?

We propose ​is​ ​that ​of ​a​ ​scholarly​ ​commons: ​a ​set ​of ​principles ​and ​rules​ ​for ​the community ​of ​researchers ​and ​other ​stakeholders ​to​ ​ascribe ​to, ​the ​practices​ ​based ​on ​those principles, ​and ​the ​common ​pool ​of ​resources​​ ​​around ​which ​the​ ​principles ​and ​practices revolve. ​The ​tenets ​are ​that ​research ​and ​knowledge ​should ​be ​freely available ​to​ ​all​ ​who ​wish ​to ​use ​or ​reuse ​it ​, ​participation ​in ​the production ​and ​use​ ​of ​knowledge ​should ​be ​open​ ​to ​all​ ​who ​wish ​to ​participate, ​and​ ​there should ​be ​no ​systemic​ ​barriers ​nor disincentives ​to ​prevent ​either ​free ​use ​or ​open participation. We ​outline ​the ​backgrounds ​of ​the ​idea ​and ​various considerations​ ​that ​play ​a ​role ​in ​defining ​it. ​We ​share ​the ​principles​ ​of ​the ​scholarly​ ​commons and ​the ​degrees ​of ​freedom ​interpreting ​those ​principles, ​and ​consider ​the ​broader ​landscape ​of ideas ​and ​charters ​that ​the ​scholarly​ ​commons ​fits ​into and present ​a ​call​ ​for ​action ​​on ​how ​to​ ​bring ​such ​a​ ​commons ​to ​fruition​ ​and what ​this ​would ​mean ​for ​different ​communities ​within ​science​ ​and ​scholarship.
