Communities of Practice in Latin America and their influence in dissemination of Open Science

Abstract

Comunidades de práctica en Latinoamérica y su influencia en la difusión de la ciencia abierta El movimiento de ciencia abierta emerge en los últimos años como respuesta principalmente a las crisis de replicabilidad y reproducibilidad por la que atraviesan distintas ramas de la ciencia y busca garantizar la transparencia de los trabajos de investigación compartiendo las distintas etapas del flujo de trabajo. Más recientemente, distintos organismos han comenzado a promover estos valores desde el desarrollo de políticas públicas y la financiación de proyectos Sin embargo, estas medidas varían mucho dependiendo de la región. Un instrumento posible para la difusión de la ciencia abierta, potencialmente con más aceptación de los usuarios, son las comunidades de práctica, grupos auto-organizados y auto-mantenidos de personas que comparten una preocupación o pasión por algo que hacen y aprenden a hacerlo mejor a medida que interactúan con regularidad. Se ha observado un gran crecimiento de estas comunidades en los últimos años en Latinoamérica, muchas dirigidas a reducir la brecha de género en STEAM como R-Ladies, PyLadies, GeoChicas, TecnoLatinas y Women in Bioinformatics and Data Science Latin America, otras enfocadas en transmitir habilidades para enseñar herramientas computacionales como The Carpentries o dedicadas a enseñar herramientas y prácticas de ciencia abierta como MetaDocencia. En este contexto, nos preguntamos cuál es el rol de las comunidades de práctica en la difusión e implementación de prácticas de ciencia abierta en general, y específicamente, en la región de Latinoamérica. Para ello, realizamos un análisis exploratorio de la evolución del uso de los términos "ciencia abierta" y "open science" con el tiempo de 2012 a la actualidad. Se estudió, en aquellos casos en que existía información al respecto, la representación de cada región. Finalmente, se realizó un análisis de redes sociales para identificar usuarios influyentes y agrupaciones de usuarios y luego se estudió la asociación de estos con comunidades de práctica.

The open science movement has emerged in recent years mainly as a response to the replicability and reproducibility crises faced by different branches of science and seeks to ensure the transparency of research work by sharing the different stages of the workflow. More recently, different organizations have begun to promote these values through the development of public policies and the financing of projects. However, these measures vary greatly depending on the region. One possible tool for open science dissemination, potentially with more user acceptance, is communities of practice, self-organized and self-maintained groups of people who share a concern or passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly. A great growth of these communities has been observed in recent years in Latin America, many aimed at reducing the gender gap in STEAM such as R-Ladies, PyLadies, GeoChicas, TecnoLatinas and Women in Bioinformatics and Data Science Latin America, others focused on transmitting skills to teach computational tools such as The Carpentries or dedicated to teach open science tools and practices such as MetaDocencia. In this context, we ask ourselves what is the role of communities of practice in the dissemination and implementation of open science practices in general, and specifically, in the Latin American region. To this end, we conducted an exploratory analysis of the evolution of the use of the terms "open science" and "open science" over time from 2012 to the present. Where information was available, the representation of each region was studied. Finally, a social network analysis was performed to identify influential users and clusters of users and then the association of these with communities of practice was studied.
