The open science (OS) movement has garnered increasing support in academia alongside continued financial and reputational incentives to obtain intellectual property (IP) protections over research outputs. Here, we explore stakeholder perspectives about intersections between OS and IP to inform the development of institutional OS guidelines for the neurosciences in Canada. We held six focus groups and three interviews with 29 faculty members from a major research and clinical center in Canada. The semi-structured interview guide probed perspectives on the respective roles of patents and OS in neuroscience-related research. We applied thematic content analysis to the transcript data, and extracted 12 major themes and 30 subthemes. Participants perceived a conflict between OS ideologies and the inherently restrictive nature of patents, and highlighted the importance of autonomy, justice, and respectful, culturally safe research practices in any future adoption of OS. Overall, the data suggest that a hybrid OS-IP policy model supported by local expertise may be best suited to meet the priorities and values of the community while mitigating perceived threats. This model includes expanded education about patenting, incentivized data sharing and collaboration, and tangible resources to support implementation of OS that includes skilled support in digital research infrastructures.

开放科学正在发挥作用并与专利保护产生紧张关系

开放科学 (OS) 运动在学术界获得了越来越多的支持，同时还持续提供财务和声誉激励措施，以获取研究成果的知识产权 (IP) 保护。在这里，我们探讨了利益相关者对操作系统和知识产权之间交叉点的看法，为加拿大神经科学机构操作系统指南的制定提供信息。我们对来自加拿大一家主要研究和临床中心的 29 名教职人员进行了 6 次焦点小组讨论和 3 次访谈。半结构化访谈指南探讨了专利和操作系统在神经科学相关研究中各自作用的观点。我们对文字记录数据进行了主题内容分析，提取了 12 个主要主题和 30 个副主题。参与者认识到操作系统意识形态与专利固有的限制性之间存在冲突，并强调了自治、正义以及尊重、文化安全的研究实践在未来操作系统采用中的重要性。总体而言，数据表明，由当地专业知识支持的混合 OS-IP 政策模型可能最适合满足社区的优先事项和价值观，同时减轻感知到的威胁。该模型包括有关专利的扩大教育、激励数据共享和协作以及支持操作系统实施的有形资源，其中包括数字研究基础设施中的熟练支持。
