Exploring National Infrastructures to Support Impact Analyses of Publicly Accessible Research: A Need for Trust, Transparency and Collaboration at Scale

Kemp, Jennifer; Watkinson, Charles; Drummond, Christina

https://dx.doi.org/10.7302/22166

"The concept behind @graspos is to build the European Federated Open Metrics Infrastructure in a decentralised way, where:

different types of data come together to create metrics;

tools and services are developed to improve EU or global infrastructures but are also shared with national or institutional monitoring platforms;

indicators and assessment protocols are developed, tested and shared.

A metrics infrastructure that by its nature supports research organisations and communities to design their own paths on how to include OS in their RRA protocols and that they select solutions that meet their needs and may apply them at their own controlled environment and own pace. The end result would be to bring a sense of openness and consistency in the metrics domain, which would also allow diversity in assessment and innovation in meta-research. "

Quote:

[@RonaldSnijder] is an example of a researcher developing tools for the sake of improving scholarly communication. As an experienced software developer, he has a background in social sciences. Although his work has an impact on scholarly communication practices, it would not be considered by the evaluation systems in academia. Should we advocate for changing that? At the OPERAS Innovation Lab we answer “yes”
