Abstract
Open science policies are a much-discussed issue. This literature review
aims to examine the approach given to open science policy in these
studies.
The approach given to open science in the selected works has different
aspects: policy framing and its geopolitical aspects are described as an
asymmetries replication and epistemic governance tool. The main
geopolitical aspects of open science policies described in the
literature are the relations between international, regional and
national policies. There are also different components of open science
covered in the literature: open data seems much discussed in the English
speaking works while open access is the main component discussed in the
Portuguese and Spanish speaking papers. Finally, the relation between
open science policies and the general science policy is framed by
highlighting the innovation and transparency that open science can bring
to it.
