How are institutions thinking of comprehensive eval that balances metrics/indicators with substantive qualitative assessment. @tanitacasci.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk "We ask researcher to provide short list of "outputs." The researcher decides. Doesn't have to be pubs. Explain contribution." #APE2025

The #APE2025 Opening Keynote and Discussion focused on how our #ScholComm past can inform our future.

Sven Fund, Caroline Sutton, and Max Mosterd led the conversation and thanks to Colleen Campbell for the shout out to DT's work tracking/analyzing OA output and revenue.

Bifurcation in #scholcomm = scale of commercials helping them - they can't risk losing control of infrastructure they operate; non-profit sector involved in small initiatives/infrastructure (underfunded, don't scale, unsustainable); largest NFPs are trying to build scale as well #APE2025 #openaccess

Ana Heredia - wants publishers to consider the science and contributions of global regions not only to see them as a market! #STMFrankfurt
@ImpactSci #STMFrankfurt that last point is critical!
