Abstract:

[Purposes] To clarify the role and duties of academic publishers in promoting the development of open science, this article explores the social responsibility of academic publishers. [Methods] Based on the investigation of the social responsibility practices of large international academic publishers and under the guidance of the principles of the Open Science Recommendation proposed by UNESCO, a framework with detailed content related to the social responsibility of academic publishers in the context of open science was constructed. [Findings] Three dimensions including governance, business, as well as community and society contribute to the social responsibility framework. Nine specific social responsibilities were proposed, including formulating open science strategies and policies, maintaining open science principles and academic publishing ethics, ensuring equality and fairness in access to information and knowledge, promoting open sharing of research data, facilitating dissemination and use of scientific knowledge, and advancing global scientific research. [Conclusions] Academic publishers should formulate open science strategies and policies, ensure fairness and equality, put a high value on realization of public interests in relation to open science, and strengthen international cooperation on open science.
