Rotating around the sun: The Helio-centric Model of Open Science - A conversation with Monica Gonzalez-Marquez

Access 2 Perspectives – Conversations. All about Open Science Communication

Monica Gonzalez-Marquez is passionate about improving how scientific information is documented and understood. She works closely with researchers and experts to make scientific documents clearer, more accurate, and easier to access by following the best practices.

She also uses creative methods to simplify complex scientific ideas, designing user-friendly tools and organizing information in a way that makes it easier for others to understand.

As an advocate for better reading and understanding of scientific materials, Monica applies ideas from cognitive science to help people grasp complicated information. She encourages different community of learners to engage with science more effectively.

Monica promotes a new approach called the Heliocentric Model of Open Science Documentation, which goes beyond traditional research papers. It focuses on recording and sharing the most important information in a way that improves communication and preserves knowledge for the future.

Her mission is to change how scientists share and use knowledge, making open science more effective and accessible for everyone.

On this podcast episode, Monica and Jo discussed their shared advocacy for open science and their experiences in the field since its earlier days.

Monica shared insights about her role as an Open Science Manager at Julich Forschungszentrum in Germany, touching on its diverse scientific disciplines and unique infrastructure challenges. She detailed her academic journey, including her work in linguistics, cognitive science, and developing methodologies to improve comprehension of scientific literature by framing it as narrative problem-solving.

Jo and Monica also reflected on the broader importance of storytelling in science to contextualize research and inspire meaningful societal impact while distinguishing between authentic narrative-driven science and questionable practices like hypothesizing after results are known.
