2. Concept of Open Science
Science and communication are areas of
symbolic culture – thus, they can be
understood as a set of specific instructions
and rules.!
Open science is a term that is used to
designate a form of science that utilizes
principles of open access, open archiving and
open publishing.!

Discourses on Open Science
These are the most important publications for my philosophical research:!

Openness Discourse
The openness is identified as:!
•! A freedom to read scientific publications;!
•! A freedom to share knowledge;!
•! A freedom to reuse scientific results.

Open science is based on the idea of equality of rights and
sharing knowledge. And all tools of open science serve to
implement these values.
Technology Discourse
Open science is identified with using new technologies:
especially the Internet, open sources, social media and social
networking websites. !

3. Role of communication in the two major discourses

Communicative component
Openness Discourse !
Openness of science is a prerequisite for scholarly
communication
Technology Discourse !
Using new technologies makes possible to improve
communication
Communication Discourse
We can see the domination of the transmission model of
communication in these two major discourses.!
However, we can investigate open science in terms of
communication practises and constructing the social reality of
science. !!

Collective Representations of Communication
Forms of scientific practices depend on collective representations
of communication and science. Such collective representations
refer to ideas, beliefs and values:!
• the purpose of the article should be indicated;!
• the sources of quotations need to be specified;!
• access to scientific publications should be open;!
• good publication is used to present original results;!
• scientific reasoning is good, when it is clear and understandable.

6. Conlusions
๏ We can reduce discourses on open science to two types. Both of
them contain a “communicative component”. However,
communication is only a result of science – not a foundation of it.!
๏ We can investigate the concept of open science using the
constitutive model of communication.!
๏ Collective representation play the main role in the rise of science.
