Open Science and Research Reproducibility in the French Social Sciences

The integration of open science principles within the French social sciences reflects a complex adaptation of traditional editorial ecosystems to global digital standards. This work examines the tension between established academic structures and the emerging imperatives of transparent, reproducible research practices.

Analysis

Tensions in Transparency and Reproducibility

A recurring tension exists between the diverse, fragmented nature of French SSH journals and the unified, global principles promoted by the Open Science Monitoring Initiative [2]. While international frameworks emphasize modularity and transparent metadata, French journals often prioritize traditional editorial autonomy. The analysis highlights that reproducibility in this context depends on the successful navigation between these global standards and local, long-standing academic publishing practices [1][3].

Method

Secondary-Source Evidence and Institutional Mapping

This analysis relies on a systematic review of French academic journals identified through AÉRES classification criteria [1]. By applying a comparative framework, the methodology evaluates the shift towards digital distribution platforms such as OpenEdition and Cairn. The focus remains on qualitative indicators of editorial change rather than quantitative performance metrics, ensuring a robust assessment of structural transformations within the French scholarly ecosystem [1][2].

Indledning

The evolution of scholarly communication in the French social sciences is currently undergoing a significant shift, driven by the dual pressures of digitalization and the global open science movement. French academic traditions, long defined by a multiplicity of small, non-profit editorial actors, face unique challenges when reconciling their heritage with modern transparency requirements [1].

This exposé examines the structural integration of open science within the French SSH landscape. By analyzing the editorial landscape and the emerging global principles of open science monitoring, it addresses how these institutions adapt to international standards of reproducibility without compromising their disciplinary specificities [1][2].

Ultimately, this work aims to provide a clear perspective on the future of French social science publishing. By evaluating the mechanisms of transition and the influence of international frameworks like the Open Science Monitoring Initiative, it offers a critical assessment of the potential for a unified, yet diverse, research ecosystem [2][3].
