Evaluation of Open Science for co-creation of Social Innovations: A conceptual framework
Evaluación de la Ciencia Abierta para la co-creación de Innovaciones Sociales: Un marco conceptual
Keywords:
open science; co-creation; stakeholder engagement; science policy; social innovation.Abstract
Open Science is a rapidly expanding and diversifying field of social innovation with significant implications for and potential benefits to society, policy and various academic research areas. However, much is still unknown about the co-creation processes in Open Science and an overall conceptual framework which aids such understanding is missing. The article aims to address these limitations and identify the key dimensions of an ecosystem allowing co-creation in Open Science to unfold its social and economic impact. The research presented integrates the literature analysis on co-creation in multi-stakeholder ecosystems and suggest that three important dimensions have to be considered in evaluation of Open Science ecosystems: framework conditions, system conditions and outcomes. The proposed model was applied in qualitative analysis of thirty-three Open Science case studies. Based on the results of evaluation, it can be concluded that Open Science landscape is highly heterogenous, fragmented and not fully coordinated. The fragmentation appeared in all dimensions of evaluation. The outcomes of the research provide a first exploratory step in proposing innovative measures to determine the elements of co-creation practices within Open Science context.
Resumen
La Ciencia Abierta es un campo de innovación social en rápida expansión y diversificación, con importantes implicaciones y beneficios potenciales para la sociedad, la política y diversas áreas de investigación académica. Sin embargo, todavía se desconoce mucho sobre los procesos de co-creación en la Ciencia Abierta y se carece de un marco conceptual general que ayude a su comprensión. Este artículo pretende abordar estas limitaciones e identificar las dimensiones clave de un ecosistema que permita la co-creación en la Ciencia Abierta para desplegar su impacto social y económico. La investigación presentada integra el análisis de la literatura sobre la co-creación en ecosistemas de múltiples partes interesadas y sugiere tres dimensiones importantes a ser consideradas en la evaluación de los ecosistemas de Ciencia Abierta: las condiciones marco, las condiciones del sistema y los resultados. El modelo propuesto ha sido aplicado en el análisis cualitativo de treinta y tres estudios de caso de Ciencia Abierta. A partir de los resultados de la evaluación, se puede concluir que el panorama de la Ciencia Abierta es muy heterogéneo, fragmentado y no está totalmente coordinado. La fragmentación aparece en todas las dimensiones de la evaluación. Los resultados de la investigación proporcionan un primer paso exploratorio para proponer medidas innovadoras que permitan determinar elementos clave en las prácticas de co-creación en el contexto de la Ciencia Abierta.
Palabras clave: ciencia abierta; innovación social; participación de las partes interesadas; co-creación.
