Open Science Assessment Framework (OSAF)

"In the GraspOS project, the Open Science Assessment Framework (OSAF) is focused on enabling Responsible Assessment (RRA), as it forms the basis of assessing Open Science. The OSAF has three elements: the SCOPE+i method (SCOPE plus infrastructure), digital Assessment Portfolios, and an Assessment Registry.

In this webinar you will hear about the GraspOS project’s work on the OSAF. The OSAF will enable a system based on rewards and recognition using a new generation of qualitative and quantitative metrics and indicators. You will hear about the RRA and how it relates to Open Science and about the various frameworks that guide our work, e.g. OS-CAM, Nor-CAM, Opus RAF and SCOPE. The main goal of OSAF is to translate principles into practice with the help of CoARA and SCOPE frameworks, which will provide practical guidelines in terms of points to consider when planning on implementing OS research assessment into an organisation’s workflow. Lastly, you will learn how to apply the SCOPE-i method, Assessment Portfolio and Assessment Registry in different assessment event phases. One part of the Assessment Portfolio consists of an Openness Profile, which documents relevant contributions to Open Science that are essential to research but still unrecognised by the current research evaluation practice. To showcase the Openness Profile in concrete terms, we will introduce the work from the viewpoint of a pilot - the Finnish research.fi service...."
