Recognising Open Science in Responsible Researcher Assessment – ExPECT

The video discusses the significance of open science, a movement that aims to make scientific research and its results more accessible and collaborative. It highlights the challenge that traditional research assessments often overlook the value of openness, focusing instead on metrics like impact factors. The video suggests that evaluators need training and support to recognise and value open science. In addition, clear criteria must be used.

CoARA ExPECT, supported by CoARA Boost funding, represents a collaborative initiative involving the University of Oulu, Ruhr University Bochum, and Tampere University. The Teaming project from Cascade Funding Call 1 actively advances CoARA's vision to reform researcher assessment practices. The video catalogue produced by the CoARA ExPECT project has been formally endorsed by the CoARA Steering Board and is available on the CoARA Collection: http://www.coara.org/collection
