Abstract

Through studies on software for scientific journals, Juan Pablo Alperin began to develop research on scientific communication, mainly on the theme of open access and its broader issue that involves open science. in an interview with Reciis, the professor and researcher argues that it is necessary to think about how to open access to knowledge and not just guarantee it. In this sense, reflection on how to do open science promotes discussions to make the scientific research system more equitable and collaborative. The professor states the positive effects and challenges that the covid-19 pandemic has brought about for scientific communication. Alperin highlights initiatives in Latin America aimed at a more democratic science and reaffirms the need to defend an Open Science that questions its way of acting, being less technocratic. Juan Pablo Alperin is an associate professor at Simon Fraser University.
