Collaboration in open science comprises of many groups of varying sizes and goals. The scientific community and public should always be included; however, other stakeholders can include but are not limited to administration and policymakers. The goal of collaboration in open science is to create a space for discussion for all participants to share concerns and to develop a unified approach.
UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science (2021):
"Collaboration, participation and inclusion: collaborations at all levels of the scientific process, beyond the boundaries of geography, language, generations and resources, should become the norm, and collaboration between disciplines should be promoted, together with the full and effective participation of societal actors and inclusion of knowledge from marginalized communities in solving problems of social importance."
"Processes and participants should welcome participation by and collaboration with other researchers and organizations."
ALA's "Keeping Up With... Open Science" (2021):
"Open science hopes to offer collaborations between academic and professional researchers, and engage with multiple publics through participatory or community science and public humanities."
