Abstract

Italian Abstract: La scienza vive un tornante fondamentale della sua storia. Mai come in questo momento storico essa appare gigantesca e potente, ma allo stesso tempo manifesta profonde fragilità: la concentrazione del potere di controllo dell’informazione in capo a pochi gruppi commerciali, l’iniquità di un sistema che avvantaggia i Paesi sviluppati, la compressione dell’autonomia da parte del potere politico ed economico, la precarizzazione dei giovani ricercatori, la crescita dei casi di frode e di violazione dell’etica, la messa in discussione della sua autorevolezza da parte di una porzione del pubblico. L’apertura può essere intesa come un sistema idoneo a irrobustire la scienza e curare i mali che la affliggono? Il saggio è finalizzato a rispondere a questa domanda.

English Abstract:Science is facing a fundamental turning point of its history. Never as in this historical moment it appears giant and powerful, but at the same time it shows high fragility: the concentration of information control power in the hands of few commercial groups, the iniquity of a system that benefits developed countries, the restriction of academic autonomy by political and economic power, the precariousness of working conditions of young researchers, the increase in the number of cases of scientific fraud and misconduct, the questioning of its authority by a portion of the public.

Can openness be understood as a system capable of strengthening science and treating the diseases that afflict it?

The essay is aimed at answering this question.
