VRID<\/a>), create an interoperable institutional platform for managing open access data and publications, and train researchers and students in best practices for scientific openness.<\/p>\n\u201cUSS recognizes that open science is not just a regulatory requirement, but a necessary condition to ensure integrity and transparency throughout the research data lifecycle, ethics in data management, and greater contributions to the territories where we are present,\u201d stated Dr. Andrea Leisewitz, Director of Integrity, Security, and Research Ethics at USS, who led the proposal.<\/strong><\/p>\nOpen science ensures that knowledge funded with public resources is available as a common good. This means not only sharing final results, but also the data, protocols, codes, and tools generated throughout the research process.<\/strong> Such practices foster collaboration, reproducibility, and the social use of knowledge.<\/p>\nScience for all: towards a new academic culture<\/h3>\n
In its Strategic Development Plan 2022\u20132029, USS aims to become a research university of excellence with national and territorial impact. The institutional adoption of open science is conceived as a key dimension to achieve that goal. By the end of the project, OpenScience USS envisions a fully established governance structure<\/strong>, interoperable platforms for publications and data, and an academic community trained and engaged in this new way of doing science.<\/p>\nThe initiative is also expected to increase the visibility of USS\u2019s scientific output, strengthen its positioning in international rankings and indicators, and open new opportunities for collaboration.<\/strong> As Dr. Leisewitz noted,\u00a0\u201cOpen access typically increases the visibility and citation of scientific work, reinforcing the institutional value of research. It also fosters collaboration and synergies among researchers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nFrom territories to the national open science ecosystem<\/h3>\n
With campuses in Santiago, Concepci\u00f3n, Valdivia, and Puerto Montt, USS has a strong commitment to territorial development. Open science will allow research results to be accessible to local communities, professionals, regional governments, and social organizations, who can use them to address concrete challenges.<\/p>\n
This vision is aligned with national and international trends that promote science as a public good.<\/strong> Leading universities such as Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Chile, Universidad de Chile, and Universidad de Santiago have already implemented their own open science initiatives. USS now joins this ecosystem as an institution that combines research excellence with regional engagement.<\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cIn sum, the open science proposal is consistent with our institutional vision, as it strengthens excellence in research, expands community engagement, and modernizes university management,\u201d concluded Dr. Leisewitz.<\/p>\n
With OpenScience USS, Universidad San Sebasti\u00e1n takes a strategic and structural step towards a more open, collaborative, and ethical model of research, benefitting both the scientific community and society as a whole.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The OpenScience USS project seeks to strengthen the institutional capacities of Universidad San Sebasti\u00e1n to manage scientific research in an open and ethical manner, aligning with international standards and Chile\u2019s National Open Access Policy (ANID).
