Resumo: Purpose: The article reports the results of an embedded case study on Open Science (OS) practices at the second largest university in Argentina, the National University of Córdoba (UNC).  Design/methodology/approach: An exploratory survey was carried out among UNC professors and researchers. Semi structured interviews with OS project participants and university management areas were conducted. Data was complemented with online secondary sources. Findings: OS practices at UNC arise both from top-down and bottom-up initiatives. Some areas such as open access (OA) or open data are established by Argentinian federal law, which mandates green OA via institutional repositories. UNC also boosts diamond OA in a portal with more than 90 journals. We also registered an open heritage archives, an OER portal and various grassroots citizen science initiatives. Other dimensions such as open software and hardware, and open infrastructure, are locally less actively developed. Originality/value: Public universities are one main pillar of knowledge production in Argentina (and Latin America in general). The case of UNC is of particular interest for having founded one of the first Open Knowledge Offices in the region, articulating OS initiatives.  Practical & social implications: It is essential to understand how OS initiatives take place and are supported at a local level. There is still little systematic research on this regard. The study raises awareness of OS practices with the aim of gathering experiences, implementations and impacts, recognizing obstacles and good practices.

Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a participantes de proyectos OS y áreas de gestión de la universidad. Los datos se complementaron con fuentes secundarias en línea.  Hallazgos: Las prácticas de CA en la UNC surgen tanto de iniciativas de arriba hacia abajo, como de abajo hacia arriba. Algunas áreas, como el acceso abierto (AA) o los datos abiertos, están establecidas por la ley federal argentina, que exige el AA verde a través de repositorios institucionales. La UNC también impulsa el AA diamante en un portal con más de 90 revistas. También registramos un archivo abierto de patrimonio, un portal REA y varias iniciativas de ciencia ciudadana de base. Otras dimensiones como el software y el hardware abiertos, y la infraestructura abierta, se desarrollan localmente de forma menos activa.  Originalidad/valor: Las universidades públicas son uno de los principales pilares de la producción de conocimiento en Argentina y América Latina en general. El caso de la UNC es de particular interés por haber fundado una de las primeras Oficinas de Conocimiento Abierto en la región, encargada de articular iniciativas de CA.  Implicaciones prácticas y sociales: Es esencial comprender cómo se llevan a cabo las iniciativas de OS y cómo se apoyan a nivel local. Todavía hay poca investigación sistemática al respecto. El estudio sensibiliza sobre prácticas de CA con el objetivo de recopilar experiencias, implementaciones e impactos, reconocer obstáculos y buenas prácticas.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2023-02-06info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/552410.1590/SciELOPreprints.5524spahttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/5524/10666Copyright (c) 2023 Agustín Zanotti, Lucía Céspedes, Agustín Maurohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessZanotti, AgustínCéspedes, LucíaMauro, Agustínreponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)instacron:SCI2023-02-02T18:14:17Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/5524Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2023-02-02T18:14:17SciELO Preprints - Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)false
