The LibOCS team invites you to read the report “Drivers and Barriers of Civic Engagement in Open Science and The Role of University Libraries in The Baltics” for the project “University libraries strengthening the academia-society connection through citizen science in the Baltics” under the Erasmus+ Programme, Key Action 2: Partnerships for Cooperation.
The present report aims to identify the drivers and barriers of citizen engagement in open science and the role university libraries play. Researchers and teaching staff, librarians, and university students from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania were interviewed during three distinct roundtables in 2022. As a result, five general recommendations based on the interviews and literature on how to increase the link between academic libraries and citizen involvement in open science are released.
The full report is available to read in English in the project Zenodo collection at https://zenodo.org/record/6669328.
