Another proposal made by the authors is that the principle of openness should provide an opportunity to question the nature and definition of data in HSS, without being subject to credibility and normative mechanisms, but rather the opposite. This proposal unites the authors who expressed it around ethical and legal issues, in particular the question of data anonymisation and pseudonymisation and sustainable archiving.

Conclusion

The authors first call for a definition of openness adapted to the specificity of HSS and the diversity of their research objects (Hocquet, 2024). Their proposal is therefore for an evolution of OS HSS policies based on the recognition of the specificity and reality of research practices in these fields.

Authors’ critique is not a full rejection of openness as a principle, but a questioning of the too generic and normative terms in which openness is applied on HSS in the official frame

the diverse and heterogeneous nature of their data (small data, non-digital, trivial, confidential…), which cannot be appraised in generic, positivist and normative terms

Other editorial forms, such as conferences, talks videos, mainstream press, magazines or non-academic blogs etc, which were not included in our selection criteria, may also contain other arguments expressed by authors, including those from unrepresented disciplines. Similarly, the study did not analyse the reception or circulation of these arguments within the HSS scholars, either in the academic or media spheres. These two limitations, which stem from the exploratory nature of our study, may represent new research objectives for further exploration of researchers' discourse on OS, using other methods such as semi-structured interviews or focus groups.

By contrast, we also observe that Open innovation as a facet appears only in the Economic argument with 8.7% in the category. Citizen Against? When the HSS French community speaks out on Open Science: Fillaud et al. a Top-Down and Bottom-Up taxonomy approach 12 Science facet appears also only in the Political and Institutional argument with 6.7%. Conversely, it is quite surprising that Open Access facet is represented at such a low rate and only in 4 arguments.

From figure 6 above, we can observe that the most transversal and frequently mentioned OS facet across the arguments is Open Research Data. It is clearly the most predominant facet when crossing the 7 argument categories: it represents 42.3% of Economic; 66.7% of Epistemological; 43.8% of Ideological; 90.9% of Legal and Ethical; and 69.4% of Open Praxis. The Legal and Ethical argument category contains the highest concentration of references to Open Research Data (90.9%).

The Epistemological category is the most prominent, accounting for 34,3% of the arguments.

The most important is open research data, with 59,7% of the quotations, highlighting the intensity of researcher’s critiques of this facet of OS

In contrast, the support staff involved in the debate (research officers, digital collection officers, research engineers, research processing and digital dissemination officers) represents only 20%.

233 quotations were then indexed according to the 10 facets of the da Silveira et al. (2023)’s taxonomy, to identify to which specific area of OS they belong.
