Opinion: Advocating for science progress as a human right

Mann et al discuss on human right regarding on enjoying the benefits of scientific progress (the Right to Science [RtS]). The existence of this right is important for researchers and society. It adds a legal and moral dimension to a range of fundamental issues, including scientific freedom, funding, and policy, as well as access to data, materials, and knowledge. In fact, the RtS is a basic human right with clear implications for the dignity, well-being, health, and education of all the world's citizens. The RtS adds an important legal and moral dimension to fundamentally important issues in science and policy. Let us make every effort to make it robust and responsible.
