Abstract
The "Open and Engaged" keynote panel discussed cross-disciplinary approaches to open scholarship, featuring Dr. Paola Castano, Professor Hugh Shanahan, and Professor Jane Winters. Dr. Castano emphasised the importance of understanding the social life of experiments and the impact of open science on diverse research environments. She highlighted the need for new metrics to assess collaborative efforts in open science.
Professor Shanahan shared his journey from high-energy physics to bioinformatics and open science, stressing the importance of equitable access to research resources and the challenges faced by researchers in low and middle-income countries. He advocated for clear communication and understanding of vocabulary in cross-disciplinary collaborations.
Professor Winters discussed her path from academic publishing to digital humanities, emphasising the value of open scholarship in various academic contributions, including data sets and digital projects. She highlighted the importance of recognising all contributors' roles and the need for responsible scholarship that considers legal and ethical constraints.
The panellists agreed on the significance of building relationships, understanding power dynamics, and ensuring equitable access and recognition in open scholarship. They called for better funding, institutional support, and acknowledgment of the diverse contributions to research.
