OPEN DATA IN SCIENCE EDUCATION RESEARCH: PERSPECTIVES, CHALLENGES, AND POSSIBILITIES

In this editorial, we present the open science perspectives adopted by the Ensaio journal, emphasizing open data practices and shared data. The availability of research data can improve transparency, collaboration, reproducibility, replication, reuse, and enrichment of scientific production in Science Education. We offer new perspectives on the topic based on our experiences throughout 2023 in implementing a Data Editorship, whose work we detail in a flowchart. Furthermore, we address some of the possible implications of ethical data sharing in the field and report on some of the outcomes of the interactions between our editorial team, authors, and the academic community involved in discussions on open science by summarizing the paths we have taken in this sphere.
