Abstract
Open science increasingly also refers to open governance and more democratized engagement and control of science by scientists and other users and stakeholders. The virtues of open science in so far as it draws on commons-based peer production is increasingly seen as a mode or system of production structured by large-scale collaboration, driven by motives other than profit. In this regard, commons-based peer production is a socio-economic system of production that is emerging in the digitally networked environment. Open peer review indicates that the nature of electronic media of scientific communication may also offer some extension to the peer-review system. As a mode of generating reliable knowledge, ‘open science’ depends upon a specific nonmarket reward system to solve a number of the resource allocation problems that have their origins in the particular characteristics of the information as an economic good.
