Yurii Mielkov

Abstract


The article is dedicated to the paradigm of open science and to such a direction of its implementation as democratization of the research activity of HEIs. It is argued that open science in its value aspect manifests itself primarily as a democratic academic culture of free, autonomous and critical thinking based on rational inquiry. The article tries to formulate recommendations for implementing the open science guidelines into the practices of HEIs by democratizing educational, organizational, and publishing aspects of the research activity.

Key words: open science, democratization, academic freedom, values of science, higher education.
