Equitable Research Capacity Towards the Sustainable Development Goals: The Case for Open Science Hardware

Abstract: Changes in science funders’ mandates have resulted in advances in open access to data, software, and publications. Research capacity, however, is still unequally distributed worldwide, hindering the impact of these efforts. We argue that to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), open science policies must shift focus from products to processes and infrastructure, including access to open source scientific equipment. This article discusses how conventional, black box, proprietary approaches to scienc… Show more

“…The use of open hardware, free software and free-to-use reagents aims to engage students into open source technology and discussions on how this approach can help achieve a paradigm shift towards a global collaborative science and truly open innovation ecosystem [80]. A future scenario in which researchers create, share and build their own instruments upon other designs requires nurturing future generations by addressing the topic of OSH in the curriculum [81].…”

“…Even though Dr. Tao / Spaghetti Monster emphasizes the intention not to hinder the development of the industry and their willingness to share designs and patents within the 3-D printing community, from a broader perspective, there are still clear issues with patenting existing open-source technologies, which should not be possible anyway. These issues include: [44,[48][49][50]52,53,118,119], medical technology [120][121][122] and reaching sustainable development goals [123][124][125].…”

“…There are still clear issues with patenting existing open-source technologies (as clearly demonstrated in the results), which should not be possible anyway. These issues include the following: This can hinder the pace of innovation and delay the benefits that open-source 3-D printing can bring to various industries including science [44,[48][49][50]52,53,118,119] and medical technology [120][121][122] and reaching sustainable development goals [123][124][125].…”
