As part of our work on Open Scholarship, we are exploring the topic of Research(er) Evaluation, with the aim to identify and support recognition of contributions to Open Scholarship, academic and non-academic, that are essential to make Open Scholarship truly work. Our approach is to raise awareness on the lack of recognition in current evaluation practice and work towards a possible solution.
In our latest report Openness Profile: Modelling research evaluation for open scholarship we describe mechanisms and approaches to improve and incentivize the recording, evaluation, and recognition of contributions to Open Scholarship practice. As a follow-up on the report ‘Openness Profile: Defining the concepts’ (January 2020, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3607579), it presents how the Openness Profile can help address existing gaps in the assessment of open science.
