Project description
Transnational research systems and movements and their constraints
Research and technology are essential for societal progress and improving quality of life. Their development often involves transnational collaboration and the movement of ideas across geographical regions. However, the impact of these processes, particularly the effects of censorship, blockades, and other barriers, remains understudied. The ERC-funded SCRiBe project will address this gap by examining open access movements, the development of open research infrastructure, and the transnational constraints that can hinder their expansion. By investigating these factors, the project aims to enhance our understanding of how knowledge flows across borders and the challenges that shape research accessibility and biblio-diversity in different regions.
Objective
This project aims to understand the conceptualisation of ‘open’ in the open access movement and the development of open research infrastructure from a transnational perspective by identifying boundaries and constraints that hinder the growth of bibliodiversity in three different geographical regions. Its objectives are to shed light on an overlooked research area in knowledge production: the relationship between standards, geopolitics and transnational knowledge flows by examining the antithesis of openness: boundaries, censorship, and regulations that enforce closures and blockades. WP1 explores and develops the conceptual and methodological dimensions in understanding openness and related concepts, as well as methodological approaches regarding knowledge flows and information boundaries. WP2 examines the inception and development of open research infrastructure, SciELO and African Journal Online (AJOL), both of which have distinct characteristics and follow different timelines and trajectories. WP3 investigates the current development of open research infrastructure in Europe, with a specific focus on standards and standardisation and their potential implications on regionalism, internationalism and globalisation. Following the practices of laboratory studies, the study will gain in-depth understanding by rich description and co-construction of meanings in the research process. In sum, the project will provide novel theoretical and methodological perspectives and unique empirical findings that understand the global inequities of knowledge production with an ultimate goal of fostering sustainable, collaborative, equitable, and bibliodiverse research ecosystems.
