Mensajes previos del Boletín SciELO-México y suscripción: https://groups.google.com/g/boletin-scielo-mexicoUNESCO, in partnership with the UN Dag Hammarskjöld Library in the context of the 4th UN Open Science and Open Scholarship Conference, produced a draft policy brief as part of the UNESCO Open Science Toolkit to explore the equity in scholarly communication, the practice through which researchers create, validate, and share knowledge within and beyond the academic community.
Equity in scholarly communication means fostering an open, fair, and inclusive environment for scientific and technological development, as well as for ensuring fair access to knowledge and science, according to the United Nations’ Pact for the Future. Equitable scholarly communication is a practical means of realizing the open science vision, based on the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science.
The policy brief reviews the history of scholarly communication in relation to equity, highlighting both the opportunities created and the unintended consequences, identifies the key equity-related challenges, and recommends pathways for building more equitable scholarly communication systems by addressing those challenges. The document is intended to assist policymakers, scientists, and other stakeholders engaged in supporting and implementing open science.
UNESCO is inviting all interested stakeholders to review this brief and provide feedback.
Please download the PDF, add comments directly in the document, and email it to opens...@unesco.org with the subject line “Feedback on equitable scholarly communication”. Alternatively, you may provide your feedback in the body of the email as a written response, without annotating the PDF, while clearly referencing the relevant paragraph numbers of the brief.
The deadline for comments is 13 April 2026.
Should you have any questions or require further information, please contact us at opens...@unesco.org.
