This book explores fundamental changes in the circulation and ownership of scientific information. Alessandro Delfanti argues that a new open science culture is redefining the relationship between researchers, scientific institutions and commercial companies. He explores the emergence of the citizen biology community, and how leading biologists and others are involved in a transformation of both life sciences and information systems, using open access tools, and claiming independence from both academic and corporate institutions.
