In our corporate newsletter today I read that "The Canadian Commission for UNESCO (CCUNESCO) has just posted a paper Toward a UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science: Canadian Perspective to the Canadian Commission for UNESCO to support discussions for the development of a Canadian position on key issues and to provide input to the UNESCO consultations." It's a well-written document making the case for open science and offering insightful commentary on how it would work and some of the issues around it. Dick Bourgeois-Doyle discusses this policy document in this blog post. "The recent drive for open science reflects a desire to renew the contract between science and society in the face of the so-called post-truth era and global issues such as climate change, income inequality, and, now, the pandemic," he writes. Count me as an enthusiastic supporter, and long-time advocate, for open science in government research.
