Open Science in Universities

Abstract

One of the essential resources for preserving/restoring the research potential of Ukrainian universities in the conditions of the war of Russia against Ukraine and post-war recovery is the implementation of the policy of open science, which ensures improving research efficiency by reducing duplication and the costs of creating, transferring and reusing data. The relevance of implementing open science in the European Research Area is considered. The chapter analyses the documents of the European Research Area, scientific works on the development of open science in European universities, and documents related to implementing the principles of open science in Ukraine. The survey “Open Science in Higher Education Institutions of Ukraine” results are presented. Academic staff of 110 Ukrainian universities (1,517 respondents) participated in the survey. The survey highlights the current use of research e-infrastructure services in Ukrainian universities and the academic community's understanding of using artificial intelligence in research.
