The Open Government partnership as a platform for the advancement of Open Science in Brazil

Abstract Open Government and Open Science are converging movements, since research carried out in universities and government institutes generates a large amount of data, information and knowledge. As an emergent phenomenon, however, there is a gap in the literature with regards to Open Science and its impact on governmental research and development organizations. From this perspective, this paper aims to report the participative construction of a national commitment under the theme ‘Innovation and Open Government in Science’, proposed and committed to by Brazil in its 4th National Action Plan on Open Government. The methodology applied for the construction of this commitment was developed and executed by the Executive Group of the Inter-ministerial Committee responsible for the Open Government Partnership activities in the Country. The 4th National Action Plan of the Open Government Partnership was published in October 2018 and actions associated with it are in progress. Preliminary results show the instrumentality of the Open Government Partnership for the construction of a collaborative strategy in support of Open Science in Brazil, in which the main actors of the national scientific system participate.

摘要：开放政府（Open Government）与开放科学（Open Science）是两大趋同的发展潮流。高校及政府科研院所开展的研究可产出海量数据、信息与知识，但作为一种新兴现象，现有学术文献中关于开放科学及其对政府研发机构的影响的研究仍存在空白。基于此视角，本文旨在汇报围绕"科学领域的创新与开放政府"主题所开展的国家承诺事项的参与式构建过程，该主题由巴西在其第四届开放政府国家行动计划中提出并作出承诺。本次承诺事项的构建方法由负责本国开放政府伙伴关系（Open Government Partnership, OGP）事务的部际委员会执行小组开发并执行。开放政府伙伴关系第四届国家行动计划于2018年10月正式发布，相关配套行动目前正有序推进。初步研究结果显示，开放政府伙伴关系可为巴西构建支持开放科学的协同战略提供助力，该战略吸纳了国家科学体系的核心参与主体共同参与。
