Monitoring and Evidence Gathering for Open Science and Research Assessment Reform
As open science practices gain momentum and research assessment reform becomes more ambitious, there is a growing need to strengthen monitoring systems and improve evidence-based approaches. Several key initiatives lead the way, including the Open Science Monitoring Initiative, the Global Research Initiative on Open Science, the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information, and the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment.
About the Webinar
Science Europe and its Member Organisations play a leading role in shaping developments and initiatives on open science and research assessment reform. Building on our established guidelines and recommendations on open access monitoring, Science Europe members contribute to all major initiatives in this space.
This webinar explored the latest initiatives in monitoring and evidence gathering for open science and research assessment reform, and marked the launch of a new report, commissioned by Science Europe. This report maps previous survey findings from our Member Organisations against the current academic research in these areas.
The new report reflects the contributions of Science Europe Member Organisations and helps situate them within broader policy and scholarly contexts.
This webinar provided an opportunity to:
- Discuss the shared goals underpinning these international initiatives
- Examine how monitoring and evidence gathering efforts support open science and research assessment reform
- Reflect on the role of research funding and performing organisations in advancing this work
