#Open: An Introduction

June 26, 2024/in Spring 2024_#Open

Open science represents a paradigm shift in research, aiming for accessibility, inclusivity, and sustainability. Articles in this special section #Open examine a wide range of projects, practices, and research approaches that embrace these principles in multiple ways. Some delve into open practices in publishing and how they challenge traditional academic structures; others explore how digital platforms have the potential to both enable and curb the progress of open science. Several focus on the more or less implicit impact of researchers in the wider community through open education, public engagement, and citizen science. The selected contributions not only provide insight on the challenges and opportunities of openness in media studies, but also gather a diamond open collection of articles and essays, with no financial burden for readers as well as authors. In this sense, this issue concretely puts into practice the ethos that it embraces, and acts as a call to action for the larger academic community to engage in collective efforts towards sustainable open scholarship practices and models.

Navigating new horizons: Openness, blogs, and media studies

June 26, 2024/in Spring 2024_#Open

The transformation of established academic publishing systems is reshaping the landscape of media studies and emerging publication formats are challenging traditional habits. This article examines open access publication practices through the prism of the Open Media Studies Blog (OMS Blog). With a praxeological lens, the study delves into the sociotechnical dimensions of this shifting media studies publication environment. Central to our inquiry is the concept of ‘lived’ open science. Our open science philosophy guides content curation, format selection, and engagement strategies, shaping the very essence of our scholarly endeavors. By placing our own editorial practices under the microscope, we engage in a form of self-reflection that elucidates the challenges and triumphs of embracing openness. We probe the boundaries of openness, recognising the intricate interplay of financial, technical, social, political, and strategic factors that shape our scholarly endeavors. This study also examines the evolving roles of authors, editors, publishers, and readers in response to evolving scholarly demands. We question whether we are prepared, supported, and empowered to challenge prevailing structures that uphold inequality.
