Thanks for the opportunity to discuss our efforts to modernize academic appointment & advancement, @retractionwatch.com! #ResearchAssessment #OpenScience
Several organizations are now putting more than $1 million toward reimagining hiring, promotion and tenure at U.S. universities.
$1.5 million program targets changes to academic incentives
The incentive systems that drive academic research underlie nearly every story we write: publication counts for promotion, pressure to produce positive results, hitting certain metrics, and so on. …

@scholarlypub.bsky.social "Ask the exec" - Jason Hu - Research assessment paradigms are different globally - Asian priorities (china esp) revolve around impact metrics (IF, citations etc). This impacts where authors choose to publish. (SR: True in US/EU/UK as well). #researchassessment

Open Science Conference 2025 | Open Science Conference
This year’s conference will have a special focus on the intersection between Open Science and AI. The rapid integration of artificial intelligence and corresponding tools into scientific research poses both new challenges but also opportunities for Open Science practices. This requires a reflection on how this can be aligned with transparency, accessibility, reproducibility, and reusability as core principles of Open Science.

felt a little bit like this when we kept discussing #researchAssessment at the #DiamondOASummit in Cape Town last week. I'm 100% for research assessment reform, but we can make reforms for #DiamondOA without fixing everything broken with science.
There's a very strange expectation that any one proposed science reform must:
1) Fully solve a problem
2) Solve MANY vaguelly related problems
3) Have zero negative impact on anything
No single reform like that exists, so the status quo bias reigns and everyone gets pretty weird about it.
