Following the guidelines set out in the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science (2021), this study explores the actual role of Open Science in building a future of peace. After a theoretical reflection on the intersections between epistemic openness, cognitive justice, and knowledge infrastructures, the article presents a systematic investigation into the relationship between Open Science and a culture of peace, based on a computational analysis of the scientific literature published over the past ten years in open repositories. The investigation is based on a systematic review conducted according to the PRISMA 2020 protocol. The APIs of four open access scientific databases (CrossRef, DOAJ, Semantic Scholar, and CORE) were queried, while closed platforms such as Scopus and Web of Science were excluded for methodological consistency with the object of study. After deduplication, exclusion of records without abstracts, and the application of a semantic filter, nineteen 19 articles were selected and subjected to a dual analysis: automated (topic modeling with the LDA algorithm) and qualitative. The analysis identified three main clusters: the first focused on governance and diplomacy, the second on intercultural communication and local participation, and the third on social justice and transformation. Particular attention was given to the geographical distribution of contributions, with a significant presence of studies from Africa, Latin America, and Russia. This territorial dimension highlights how Open Science can serve as a vehicle for epistemic justice and reduce asymmetries in access to knowledge in historically marginalized contexts. While exploratory in nature, this work lays the foundation for investigating the potential of Open Science as a social research infrastructure for the promotion of a culture of peace.
