Background E-science technologies have significantly increased the availability of data. Research grant providers such as the European Union increasingly require open access publishing of research results and data. However, despite its significance to research, the adoption rate of open data technology remains low across all disciplines, especially in Europe where research has primarily focused on technical solutions (such as Zenodo or the Open Science Framework) or considered only parts of the issue. Methods and findings In this study, we emphasized the non-technical factors perceived value and uncertainty factors in the context of academia, which impact researchers' acceptance of open dat…
Promoting scientific integrity through open science in health psychology: results of the Synergy Expert Meeting of the European health psychology soc…
2021
The current article describes a position statement and recommendations for actions that need to be taken to develop best practices for promoting scientific integrity through open science in health psychology endorsed at a Synergy Expert Group Meeting. Sixteen Synergy Meeting participants specializing in health, social and behavioural psychology convened to discuss priority issues regarding scientific integrity promotion and open science in health psychology. The group developed a set of recommendations for researchers, gatekeepers, and research end-users. The group process followed a nominal group technique and voting system to elicit and decide on the most relevant and topical issues. Seve…
Open design. Pratiche di progetto e processi di conoscenza
2013
In un momento caratterizzato da una profonda crisi di sistema, che investe l’economia e gli assetti produttivi ma anche identità e valori, si moltiplicano le riflessioni e le posizioni che indicano nel ritorno ad una rinnovata dimensione del fare una via possibile per riavviare processi economici innovativi, che ridiano centralità alle persone e alle comunità. Recuperare il “saper fare” artigianale, al tempo dell’intelligenza collettiva e connettiva, dell’internet delle cose, dell’open source e dei fablab, può essere occasione di rinascita economica e sociale, individuale e collettiva, di più generazioni di progettisti e innovatori, minacciati negli ultimi anni dallo “spettro dell’inutilità…
The process of developing Open Data guidelines for the city of Palermo: A best practice of citizen participation
2014
Sustainable user-driven innovation supporting Open Government policies- A System Dynamics perspective applied to the Municipality of Palermo-
Going beyond a technocratic e-government paradigm, this research aims at analyzing how, through the two-ways interaction supported by Web 2.0 technology, skilled external collaboration and knowledge-sharing between citizens and public administrations can offer new ways of citizen participation, enhancing political decision-making process and public value creation. Particularly, the purpose is to investigate how skilled citizens can serve as contributors to tasks that are traditionally performed by designated civil servants and now are outsourced to an undefined, generally large group of people, in the form of an open call for contributions. To this end, we have conducted a field research in…
Open Urbanism. Progettare città senzienti e dialogiche
2013
Nella società aperta in cui siamo immersi, la città da “enciclopedia eteroscritta” si evolve in quella che definisco una “wikipedia urbana”: cioè un’opera cognitiva collettiva in cui gli abitanti e gli utilizzatori, i decisori e gli attori, i progettisti e gli attuatori compongono la struttura arricchendola continuamente con l’evoluzione degli usi, con l’interpretazione dei significati, con le volontà delle intenzioni. Essa si evolve come luogo di condensazione delle intelligenze collettive che la abitano e la attraversano, come reticolo sia dei suoi valori consolidati, sia di quelli vocazionali, ma ancor di più di quelli immaginati dal progetto urbanistico nella sua funzione di “catalizzat…

LinkedSaeima: A Linked Open Dataset of Latvia’s Parliamentary Debates
2019
This paper describes the LinkedSaeima dataset that contains structured data about Latvia’s parliamentary debates from 1993 until 2017. This information is published at http://dati.saeima.korpuss.lv as Linked Open Data. It is a part of the Corpus of Saeima (the Parliament of Latvia) released as open data for multidisciplinary research. The data model of LinkedSaeima follows the data structure of the LinkedEP dataset with a few modifications. The dataset is augmented with links to the Wikidata knowledge base that provide additional information about the speakers and named entities mentioned in the corpus.

Abstract Principles and practices of open science at universities are evolving. Increasing use and application of digital technologies and platforms in research and innovation are pushing universities to take up and develop new visions and principles for how research and innovation are performed. These open science policies and practices (i.e. open data sharing, open access publishing, open repositories, open physical labs, participatory design, and transdisciplinary research platforms) are expanding the ethos of science and innovation at universities. These new principles and practices of open science at universities are also triggering novel open innovation practices by university researc…
A Framework for Opening Data and Creating Advanced Services in the Health and Social Fields
2016
Open data is publicly available data that can be universally and readily accessed, used, and redistributed. Open data holds particular potential in the health and social sectors but, presently, health and social data are often published in a ‘closed’ format.There are different tools that allow to ‘open’ data, clean, structure and process them in order to elaborate them and build advanced services but, unfortunately, there is no single tool that can be used to perform all different tasks. We believe that the availability of Open Data in the health and social fields should be greatly increased and a way for creating new health and social services should be provided. In this paper, we present …
