EUA Roadmap on Research Assessment in the Transition to Open Science

"The European University Association (EUA) has continuously supported European universities in the transition towards Open Science and, in particular, to Open Access. Upon recommendation of its Expert Group on Science 2.0/Open Science, EUA has developed a variety of initiatives in this area, as outlined in the EUA Roadmap on Open Access to Research Publications. That roadmap mainly focused on introducing Open Access as the main model of accessing research publications. Looking ahead to the more global transition towards Open Science, with its broader framework beyond accessing research publications, the Expert Group is starting to address new models of research assessment and evaluation at all levels, as these are instrumental to achieving a fairer, more open and transparent system driven by researchers."
