其他摘要：Open Source Pharma (OSP) stands out as
an innovative way to re-align
pharmaceutical research with health
needs, in particular to find solutions to
poverty-related infectious diseases. OSP
means open collaboration, to open
access to data and other results, and
open licenses for sharing and distribution
of research outcomes. This paper
provides an exploratory analysis of OSP
current practices and business models,
based on literature review and one indepth
interview with Matthew Todd,
leader of the Open Source Malaria
project. We claim that OSP may become a
working and more promising alternative
to traditional pharma as long as it is
supported by public policy so as to fully
emerge and visibilise its benefits.
