The third SYoS lecture on “The responsible assessment of open science”, organized in collaboration with ETH Library, will take place on 7 February 2024 on EPFL campus. We are delighted to welcome Dr Elizabeth Gadd as a speaker.
SYoS
The “Swiss Year of Scientometrics” (SYoS) is a project launched by the ETH Library and funded 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 Unit are organizing the third SYoS lecture and workshop on EPFL campus.
Lecture
Calls 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 assessments to incorporate open science raises a number of questions that should 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 have the data by which to accurately assess open research and whether it's appropriate to assess open research through closed data sources. And questions around the potential unintended consequences and discriminatory effects of assessing openness.
This talk will explore how the INORMS SCOPE framework can be useful tool to address some of these questions as we seek to expand our scientometric activities to assess open science in a responsible way.
