Política Nacional de Ciencia Abierta 2022- 2031 (2022), Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación

What is this about?

Política Nacional de Ciencia Abierta 2022‑2031 (2022) is a national resource produced by the Colombian Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation, written in Spanish, and intended for stakeholders in Colombia. It provides comprehensive guidance on open science and open access, translating high-level principles into actionable steps for researchers, institutions, funders, and publishers. The document positions openness as the default, tempered by ethics, privacy, intellectual property, and security, promoting “as open as possible, as closed as necessary.” It emphasizes the link between openness, research quality, reproducibility, rapid knowledge translation, and equitable access, particularly for communities with limited subscription access. Key elements include open access to publications, preferred licensing like Creative Commons, persistent identifiers, deposition in trusted repositories, and adherence to FAIR data principles through detailed data management plans. Operational guidance covers author and institutional responsibilities, funding acknowledgment, rights retention, budgeting, and justified embargoes or exceptions. The policy highlights enabling infrastructure, monitoring mechanisms, and governance for responsible openness. For practitioners, it consolidates national rules, aligns Colombian practice with international norms, reduces ambiguity, and provides practical steps to enhance transparency, reproducibility, and equitable access. Published in 2022, it is a credible reference for policy, training, and grant documentation.
