Globalizing the Research Process Through the Popularization of Open Science in the Library

Changes in the process of scientific discovery lead to many (ideally all) stages of research work becoming visible to the public. It becomes possible to use the same data extensively and repeatedly, compare different approaches, produce unified solutions and accelerate the development of new research methods. Open Science encourages the use of both scientific and “extra-scientific” social networks to accelerate and enhance communication, and offers a system of alternative measurements for scientific research (“altmetric”), which provides additional ways of assessing scientific performance. However, with its many advantages, open science is often perceived in a fragmented way due to lack of resources, education, support, the position of research funding organisations or personal prejudices. In Russia, there is a need for activities to promote it, including not only the dissemination of information about open science and its initiatives, but also the transformation and interpretation of such information through the prism of specific communities. The purpose of this paper is to present the results of the work of the Open Science Research Department of the State Public Scientific and Technical Library of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in promoting open science, including educational and methodological activities (professional development courses and programmes, thematic webinars), public talks, as well as the creation of specialized sections of the web platform “Library for Open Science” and thematic reviews.
