Acesso Aberto e Democratização do Saber: garantia do direito humano de beneficiar-se do progresso científico

The human right to participate in and enjoy scientific progress, its applications, and benefits has been recognized by the international community since 1948. Scientific journals play a crucial role in the dissemination and democratization of knowledge, directly contributing to the advancement of science and the realization of the human right to benefit from scientific progress. Regarding the Right to Health, knowledge sharing is particularly significant, as addressing health challenges requires collective actions and global cooperation due to the interconnected nature of health, social conditions, the environment, and globalization-related issues. Funding science that supports responsible editorial practices and follows the principles of Open Science is essential for the development of studies and research, ensuring the human right to benefit from scientific progress.
