What is 'open scholarship' and what assumptions about it do we as practitioners bring to the table? According to the authors, open scholarship:

  • has a strong ideological basis rooted in an ethical pursuit for democratization, fundamental human rights, equality, and justice,
  • emphasizes the importance of digital participation for enhanced scholarly outcomes,
  • is treated as an emergent scholarly phenomenon that is co-evolutionary with technological advancements in the larger culture, 
  • is seen as a practical and effective means for achieving scholarly aims that are socially valuable.

The authors raise challenges to each of these, but my observationb would be more meta - can a person who does not subscribe to any of these find value in open scholarship?
