Theses on Intellectual Ownership, Open Science, and the Social Responsibility of Research: Against the Privatization of Knowledge and the Delay of Truth

This document is an open-access manifesto on intellectual ownership, open science, and the ethical responsibility of research. It argues that knowledge is collective in origin and social in purpose, and that delayed publication in conditions of political urgency constitutes an ethical failure of scholarship. The text advocates preprints and open dissemination as moral instruments of research ethics.
