📘 New Publication: Promising stories from the GraspOS Pilot studies

In this booklet, we present the implementation pathways and outcomes of the nine GraspOS Pilot studies, aimed at advancing Responsible Research Assessment (RRA) and strengthening Open Science practices across the European Research Area.

In the past three years, the GraspOS Pilots co-designed, validated, and evaluated Open Science-aware indicators, tools, and services for RRA across three assessment contexts:
* Funding agencies and national stakeholders using infrastructure to support funding evaluation processes.
* Universities, including departments and research groups, interested in recruitment and assessment.
* Thematic disciplines that establish domain-specific assessment criteria aligned with disciplinary needs.
The booklet offers concise narratives highlighting the activities, results, and insights from each Pilot.

Interesse an Bibliometrie?

Kennt ihr schon die "Loseblattsammlung" aka. bibliometrische Quick Notes von unserm Kollegen @optykali?
Ein Blick lohnt sich – oder auch mehrere lange Blicke.

Parmi les trois défis que se propose de relever l'Université de Lorraine, sa Présidente, Hélène Boulanger, cite aujourd'hui, lors de la journée de rentrée de ses nouveaux personnels, la réforme de l'évaluation de la recherche vers des critères plus qualitatifs.

"Reviews are also produced free of charge, and editors often work without pay. This is how journals and publishers make a profit based on the prestige of their journals and the pressure to publish. This must change. But instead of resolutely tackling such systematic errors, we still talk too much about individual misconduct." (Anna Abalkina, in F&L interview, translated with DeepL)

@nicebread This is a crucial question to discuss in the open and possibly create a statement from it somewhere for future reference...
Should the open science network commit to the #DORA and #CoARA agreements and therefore not include researchers quantitative metrics at all ?

However, I am very skeptical about displaying the h-index and i10 index (and probably also about the overall citation count). With #DORA and #CoARA, we want to get away from these indexes. (They are readily available - but that's their deceptive seduction).

To stay in the analogy: At a campfire gathering, I am looking for deep (and also funny and affiliative) conversations with fellow researchers. If there is a guy shouting out his impressive h-index as a greeting, I would immediately leave.

If we try to build a utopian community place, we should not recreate the dysfunctional incentive structures of default academia.

🎤 Keynote Speaker Announcement!

We’re thrilled to welcome Dr @lizziegadd as keynote speaker at Opening Research Assessment on Wednesday, 12 November 2025 (9:45–10:45).

As Head of Research Culture & Assessment at Loughborough University, Vice Chair of #CoARA, and Chair of the #INORMS Research Evaluation Group, Lizzie actively contributes to international discussions on responsible research assessment. In her keynote, “Should we be assessing openness openly or at all?”, she will explore the unintended consequences of current assessment reforms and how we can build fair, inclusive systems that truly incentivise Open Science.
