Four centuries ago, open science and free exchange of ideas and information were part of the corollary that have shaped the Re - public of Science. These principles render scientific knowledge a global public good attribute, with the reputation–building afforded by public access and patronage. The twenty-first century has witnessed a growing concern with the privatization of knowledge and restriction of freely available information. Farewell, so close. Old and new traditions mingle in this path, engendering new interests and producing new tensions. Restore the public good character of knowledge demands new thoughts about the reward system of science. Space for new policies and new alliances.
