Indikatoren für Open Science: Diskussionspapier des Helmholtz Open Science Office [Indicators for Open Science: Discussion Paper of the Helmholtz Open Science Office]

Open Access, Open Research Data and Open Research Software: these topics are shaping the current discussions on Open Science in the Helmholtz Association. But what indicators show the cultural change towards Open Science? And what incentives do indicators provide for the development of Open Access? These and other questions will be addressed by the virtual Helmholtz Open Science Forum under the motto "Indicators for Open Science" on 20 January 2021. In preparation for this event, the Helmholtz Open Science Office is presenting this discussion paper. The aim is to provide an overview of the current debate on indicators in the field of Open Science and to give impulses for their further development. The present paper introduces the topic and addresses key questions on how the topic is dealt with in the Helmholtz Association.
