Poor provision of information and communication technologies in low/middle-income countries represents a concern for promoting open data. This is often framed as 'digital divide' addressed through initiatives that increase the availability to researchers based low-resourced environments, well amount resources freely accessible online. Using qualitative empirical data from study lab-based research Africa we highlight limitations this framing emphasize range additional factors necessary...
There has considerable interest in bringing low/middle-income countries (LMIC) scientists into discussions on Open Data – both as contributors and users. The establishment of situ data sharing practices within LMIC research institutions is vital for the development an landscape Global South. Nonetheless, many LMICs have significant challenges resource provision, support extra-laboratory infrastructures. These low-resourced environments shape activities, but are rarely examined discourse. In...
Governments, funding bodies, institutions, and publishers have developed a number of strategies to encourage researchers facilitate access datasets. The rationale behind this approach is that will bring benefits enable advances in healthcare medicine by allowing the maximum returns from investment research, as well reducing waste promoting transparency. As gains momentum, these data-sharing practices implications for many kinds research they become standard practice across world.The...
Abstract In the past few years, scholars have been questioning whether current approach in data ethics based on higher level case studies and general principles is effective. particular, some complaining that such an to difficult be applied taught context of science. response these concerns, there discussions about how should “embedded” practice science, sense showing ethical issues emerge small technical choices made by scientists their day-to-day activities, can used teach ethics. However,...
The transition towards open research practices has been a longstanding priority for Dutch academics. Over the last decade, bottom-up support accompanied by consolidated, national-level support. This country-level initiative resulted in 2017 National Plan Open Science (NPOS) and 2022 2030 Netherlands.

The Open Science (OS) movement promises nothing less than a revolution in the availability of scientific knowledge around globe. By removing barriers to online data and encouraging publication Access formats Data archives, OS seeks expand role, reach value research. imply set expectations about what different publics hope gain from research, how accountability participation can be enhanced, makes science public first place. This paper presents empirical material fieldwork undertaken...
Financial sanctions are often thought of as the "soft alternative" to armed conflict and widely used in 21st century. Nonetheless, criticized for being non-specific their action, having impact beyond intended remit. One often-overlooked area affected by academic systems research education. Sanctions place "invisible barriers" these countries limiting access necessary resources curtailing effective use. In this paper we present a national survey Sudanese academics focused on 20 years economic...
Since 2014 the FAIR data movement has been rapidly altering landscape of sharing and re-use. Support for seen evolution disciplinary-specific standards to foster that are “finable, accessible, interoperable reusable.” While these exciting developments should not be minimised, it is important interrogate how set. Key questions ask include representation in standard setting communities addressed; what infrastructures resources emergent reliant on; dictate specific interpretations “value”...
Equipment shortages in Africa undermine Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education. We have pioneered the LabHackathon (LabHack): a novel initiative that adapts conventional hackathon draws on insights from Open Hardware movement Responsible Research Innovation (RRI). LabHacks are fun, educational events challenge student participants to build frugal reproducible pieces of laboratory equipment. Completed designs then made available others. can therefore facilitate open...
Most scientists recognize the importance of sharing data online in an open fashion. Nonetheless, many studies have documented concerns that accompany activities, including loss credit or IP, misuse and time needed to curate interoperable data. To this end, discussions around often identify incentives could potentially ameliorate these disincentivising concerns. current Open Data rely on evidence-based disincentives overcome. This results highly specific directed interventions. In contrast,...

The FAIR data principles are rapidly becoming a standard through which to assess responsible and reproducible research. In contrast the requirements associated with Interoperability principle, Accessibility principle often assumed be relatively straightforward implement. Indeed, variety of different tools assessing rely on being deposited in trustworthy digital repository. this paper we note that there is an implicit assumption access repository independent where user geographically located....
A linguistic barrier between healthcare professional and patient is a challenging experience for both parties. In many cases, the absence of formally trained medical interpreters necessitates that an informal interpreter, drawn from immediate environment, be used to facilitate communication. While presence interpreter in interview raises questions about effectiveness communication patient, it also gives rise new speculations revolving on rights, ethics privacy. this article we examine...
Abstract ‘Open data’ has recently emerged as a label for renewed attempts to promote scientific exchange. As part of such efforts, the posting data online is often portrayed commonly beneficial: individual scientists accrue greater prominence while at same time fostering communal knowledge. Yet, how in non-Western research settings assess calls openness been subject little empirical study. Based on extended fieldwork with biochemistry laboratories sub-Sahara Africa, this paper examines...
Because of its relatively well-developed, highly urbanised economy and high penetration mobile internet access, the platform took off quickly in South Africa, with international players vying for market share local platforms pursuing more innovative approaches. Digital labour have offered new earning opportunities to many country, but concerns been raised about quality jobs created, whether they meet standards decent work. Africa was one pilot countries Fairwork Project. This article...

Since the introduction of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) data principles in 2016, discussions have evolved beyond original focus on research to include learning resources. In 2020, a set simple rules FAIRify resources was proposed, building existing expertise within training community. Disciplinary communities played an important role advancing for resources, although they approached FAIRification activities different ways. These range from volunteer-led funded...
Abstract Data science skills are rapidly becoming a necessity in modern science. In response to this need, institutions and organizations around the world developing research data curricula teach programming computational that needed build maintain infrastructures maximize use of available data. To date, however, few these courses have included an explicit ethics component, such components can be challenging. This paper describes novel approach teaching on short developed for CODATA-RDA...
Abstract Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) is a growth factor, which was identified originally as playing critical role in vessel remodeling during angiogenesis. More recent evidence has indicated additional involvement vascular homeostatic responses such coagulation and inflammation, are central to wound healing. We therefore determined whether relationship existed between Ang-2 monocytes, one of the initial cell types be recruited wound, context fibrin clot invasion. significantly increased monocyte...
