The interest of Knowledge Exchange is to help reap the benefits
of open, more transparent and collaborative research approaches by using
the opportunities that information technology has to offer. Since 2005,
our activities have explored how Open Access and Open Science, (a
movement which is also known as open scholarship or open research as its
scope has reached beyond physical, natural and social sciences), can
best deliver their promise.
We’ve recently addressed Open Scholarship at conceptual level,
resulting in the KE Open Scholarship Framework and the book ‘The Economy
of Open Scholarship and the Need for Collective Action’. In parallel we
collected use cases of initiatives and services that aim to contribute
to Open Scholarship, focusing primarily on the economic challenges they
face in a rapidly changing digitised research landscape. Outcomes of
this work are published in ‘Insights into the Economy of Open
Scholarship: A Collection of Interviews’.
This report documents an investigation into the need for and
value of new evaluation approaches of people conducting open scholarship
and their outputs. The report provides an extensive overview of
strategies, barriers, and community needs regarding openness and
explores what contributions an Openness Profile, as introduced in this
report, can make to enable desired openness and fairer assessment in
research. Examples are the recognition of contributions that
traditionally have not been credited, appreciation of ‘different’
research outputs such as software, and actionable information on
infrastructure requirements.
Activities to support the development of the Openness Profile
will continue in the coming year. The objective is to bring stakeholders
together to proof the concept of Openness Profile in various
environments. The result we aim for is a body of knowledge, a mature
concept, experiences, as well as a set of recommendations on how the
Openness Profile could best be implemented in research practice.
We are aware there is still a long way to go. By sharing the rich
findings of the first part of the work we hope to inspire and encourage
you in your approaches towards improving openness in research.
