Responsible research assessment and Open Science

Calls for a reform in research assessment are growing evermore present among stakeholders within the scholarly communication landscape. In the Nordic countries several initiatives taken in the last years have emphasised the need for new incentive structures considering the transition to Open Science. 

This session will explore how scholarly communication actors can be part of an advancement and revaluation of research assessment and how they envision new ways of assessing and evaluating scholarly publishing. Topics of interest include how academic organisations can work strategically to create new incentive structures for researchers, and how publishers and library support systems best can promote responsible research assessment strategies.
