Research Integrity

Abstract

“The security of the global research ecosystem regards the control of digital infrastructures and data. Currently, universities are suffering from the colonization of digital platforms in the hands of commercial monopolies (big tech; scientific publishers/data analytics companies). Some countries and universities are addressing the threat to autonomy and research freedom that comes from “platformization” and surveillance capitalism (see, e.g., LERU, University of Amsterdam).  Can G7 policies be imagined and designed that return control of digital infrastructures and the data to universities? What is the state of art in Italy?”
