Abstract：
The relevance of science diplomacy and open science in today\'s world is undeniable. Science diplomacy enables countries to jointly address pressing global challenges, such as climate change, pandemics, and food security. Open science, promoting accessible and transparent research, plays a pivotal role in this context. Nevertheless, the degree of openness is subject to specific circumstances, contingent upon varying factors, including local knowledge and resources. Latin America has not only been at the forefront of pioneering open access strategies, making it an interesting case to study, but it has also shown a tangible interest in using science diplomacy. Our research employs a mixed-methods approach, incorporating a quantitative survey involving 50 organizations and initiatives dedicated to promoting open science in Latin America, along with two qualitative focus group studies. Our primary objective is to assess if and how these entities use science diplomacy to achieve their objectives. Non-policy entities were prioritized due to their institutional stability in the region. We highlight successful strategies and delve into the existing barriers hindering the full implementation of open science principles. Our research aims to enhance collaboration between these organizations and policy and decision-makers by providing a set of recommendations in that direction. By shedding light on the current landscape and dynamics of open science in Latin America, we aspire to focus on science diplomacy, facilitate informed decision-making, and formulate policies that further propel the region along the path of openness, collaboration, and innovation in scientific research.
摘要：
科学外交与开放科学在当今世界的相关性是不可否认的。科学外交使各国能够共同应对紧迫的全球挑战，比如气候变化，大流行,和粮食安全。开放科学,促进可访问和透明的研究，在这方面起着举足轻重的作用。然而，开放程度视具体情况而定，取决于不同的因素，包括当地的知识和资源。拉丁美洲不仅处于开创性的开放获取战略的最前沿，使它成为一个有趣的案例来研究，但它也对使用科学外交表现出了切实的兴趣。我们的研究采用了混合方法，纳入涉及50个组织和倡议的定量调查，致力于促进拉丁美洲的开放科学，以及两项定性焦点小组研究。我们的主要目标是评估这些实体是否以及如何使用科学外交来实现其目标。非政策实体由于其在该区域的机构稳定而被列为优先事项。我们强调成功的战略，并深入研究阻碍全面实施开放科学原则的现有障碍。我们的研究旨在通过提供一系列建议来加强这些组织与政策和决策者之间的合作。通过揭示拉丁美洲开放科学的现状和动态，我们渴望专注于科学外交，促进知情决策，制定进一步推动该地区走上开放道路的政策，合作,和科研创新。
