China is now taking a more active role in promoting the Open Science agenda, investing in domestic publishing infrastructure and international platforms. What does Open Sicence look like in a country where academic freedom is contested? And which norms and values guide China's Open Science development? This lecture for the China Competence Training Center, the Berlin Contemporary China Network, and for a group of BA students at Humboldt University's East Asia seminar will introduce the basics of conducting social science fieldwork in China, from gaining access to the field to reflecting on the researcher's own position, with examples and recent findings from the study of Open Science in China. Researchers and students at all levels are welcome to join.
