Cooper Smout is on a mission to revolutionize scientific conduct and communication through the principles of Open Science. Unhappy with the costly, inefficient, and biased nature of scholarly publishing, Cooper saw the need for change. Thus, he founded Project Free Our Knowledge, an initiative dedicated to empowering researchers globally.
With Free Our Knowledge, Cooper seeks to harness the collective power of researchers worldwide to challenge the dominance of profit-driven publishers. His vision is to redirect the invaluable contributions of researchers from commercial publishers to community-owned Open Access journals. This shift not only democratizes access to knowledge but also minimizes risks for vulnerable individuals, such as Early Career Researchers.
Cooper joins Jo on this podcast episode to discuss the evolution of open science, personal experiences with academia and mental health, challenges in transitioning to open access publishing, and his project, Free Our Knowledge. They discuss the resistance within academia, the need for cultural shifts, and the slow progress towards disrupting the current academic publishing model. Cooper shares his journey with Free Our Knowledge and its transition to a new campaign focusing on simple, low-bar pledges for open access publishing.
