Open Science as a Means to Decolonize Scientific Publishing and Foster Fairer Research Collaborations (Unpublished). In: Annual Conference of the Swiss Commission for Research Partnerships with Developing Countries (KFPE) 2023. 9 May.

Scientific publishing is a cornerstone of research. However, current publishing systems are highly inequitable. In an interactive virtual workshop, speakers and participants jointly identified challenges and explored ways of decolonizing scientific publishing and fostering fairer research collaborations based on the principles of open science as a global public good. Key insights from the conversation underline the need for a profound reconfiguration of the current science system to integrate postcolonial thought and open science principles. The workshop was part of a series organized around the Annual Conference of the Swiss Commission for Research Partnerships with Developing Countries (KFPE).
