Abstract
"Open [scholarship] is not just about free access, but about the ability to use, reuse, and build upon the knowledge that is shared."
Heather Joseph (SPARC Executive Director)
This presentation looks at the history, principles, practices and current implementation of open scholarship in academic institutions. Topics including Open Access publication and Open Educational Resources. The FAIR (Findable Accessible Interoperable Reusable) Principles and the CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics) will be introduced, and how their use intends to make knowledge more accessible, equitable and collaborative.
