Monitoring and Evidence Gathering for Open Science and Research Assessment Reform
As open science practices gain momentum and research assessment reform becomes more ambitious, there is a growing need to strengthen monitoring systems and improve evidence-based approaches. Several key initiatives lead the way, including the Open Science Monitoring Initiative, the Global Research Initiative on Open Science, the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information, and the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment.
About the Webinar
Science Europe and its Member Organisations play a leading role in shaping developments and initiatives on open science and research assessment reform. Building on our established guidelines and recommendations on open access monitoring, Science Europe members contribute to all major initiatives in this space.
This webinar will explore the latest initiatives in monitoring and evidence gathering for open science and research assessment reform, and will mark the launch of a new report, commissioned by Science Europe. This report maps survey findings from our Member Organisations against the current academic research in these areas.
The new tender report being launched at this event reflects these contributions and helps situate them within broader policy and scholarly contexts.
This webinar will provide an opportunity to:
- Discuss the shared goals underpinning these international initiatives
- Examine how monitoring and evidence gathering efforts support open science and research assessment reform
- Reflect on the role of research funding and performing organisations in advancing this work
Join us for an insightful discussion on how aligned approaches to monitoring and evidence gathering can drive systemic change in the research ecosystem!

Science Europe Collaborates with CWTS & Know Center on Links Between Open Science and Research Cultures
Science Europe is working together with CWTS and the Know Center to investigate the links between open science and research cultures.
Survey Report Strategic Approaches to, and Research Assessment of, Open Science
This report analyses the role of public research funding and performing organisations in Europe in the shifting landscape of open science and research assessment reform. The findings demonstrate how Science Europe's Member Organisations actively shape and contribute to these developments.
A Vision & Framework for Research Cultures
Science Europe presents ‘A Vision and Framework for Research Cultures’. It synthesises our recent work across numerous policy topics focussing them on the shared objective of R&I systems to advance knowledge and enable the quality and impact of research.
Briefing Paper on Open Access Monitoring
This briefing paper aims to support decision makers at research organisations and research funders to develop new monitoring exercises or assess and improve existing processes to measure the Open Access status of publications.
