DESCRIPTION:Dr Elizabeth Gadd\nThe third SYoS lecture on “The responsib
 le assessment of open science”\, organized in collaboration with ETH Li
 brary\, will take place on 7 February 2024 on EPFL campus. We are delighte
 d to welcome Dr Elizabeth Gadd as a speaker.\n\nSYoS\nThe “Swiss Year o
 f Scientometrics” (SYoS) is a project launched by the ETH Library and fu
 nded by swissuniversities. The main goal of the project is to initiate a
  discourse about the responsible and appropriate use of scientometrics in 
 Switzerland. As part of the project\, the ETH Library\, in collaboration 
 with the EPFL Library\, EPFL Open Science Unit and EPFL Academic Data Uni
 t are organizing the third SYoS lecture and workshop on EPFL campus.\n\nLe
 cture\nCalls such as the CoARA Agreement on Advancing Research Assessment 
 to value a broader range of contributions in our research assessments have
  naturally led scientometricians to consider how they might better monitor
  engagement with various open science practices. However\, expanding our a
 ssessments to incorporate open science raises a number of questions that s
 hould be carefully considered. These include questions as to whether is it
  open science or the outcomes of open science that we care about: research
  integrity\, visibility and impact? Questions as to whether we currently h
 ave the data by which to accurately assess open research and whether it's 
 appropriate to assess open research through closed data sources. And quest
 ions around the potential unintended consequences and discriminatory effec
 ts of assessing openness.\nThis talk will explore how the INORMS SCOPE fra
 mework can be useful tool to address some of these questions as we seek to
  expand our scientometric activities to assess open science in a responsib
 le way.\n\nShort Bio of Dr Elizabeth Gadd\nDr Elizabeth (Lizzie) Gadd chai
