Open Science aims to open up the scientific research process and its results within the sciences and towards society. The concept emphasizes the diversity of knowledge systems and knowledge practices and the need for dialogue between them. This openness involves an active collaboration with different social sectors and a stronger commitment to the problems that are socially relevant. Due to their epistemological characteristics, their relationships with the subjects studied, and their methods of inquiry, the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) pose specific challenges when it comes to open research data and citizen science. The indiscriminate opening of research data can affect people's privacy or endanger subaltern communities. With more emphasis, this research field must define their specific paths to open as much as possible and close only what is necessary to protect informants or prevent from trespassing the autonomy of indigenous people.
