Together we discuss how philosophy of open science can help us address the problem of disinformation. We start by discussing in what ways the broader debate on disinformation in science is conducive to solving the problem and the ways in which it is not. How to distribute the responsibility for addressing disinformation fairly between governments, citizens, experts and intermediaries? How processes of information quality assessment inside and outside academia are entangled? Next, we sketch out an open science approach to disinformation. Open science makes complex processes of doing science more transparent and approachable, so that the public gets a more realistic, contextual understanding of where a particular piece of scientific information comes from. We finish by mapping the tensions that exist between the imperative of keeping science open and that of combating misinformation, and how to dissolve them through dialogue that is regular over time and comfortable to all parties involved.
