Drivers:
Open science push
Carlos MoedasCommissioner for Research, Science &
Innovation
„:the way that science works is
fundamentally changing and an equally
important transformation is taking place in
how companies and societies innovate. Put
simply, the advent of digital technologies is
making science and innovation more open,
collaborative, and global.“

Open science: Definitions
• Open Science opens up the
entire research enterprise
(inner circle) by using a variety
of means and digital tools
(outer circle)
• From publishing as fast as
possible to sharing as fast as
possible
Open science: Definition
The Open Definition (http://opendefinition.org)
• Relates to open source software
• Knowledge is open if anyone is free to access, use, modify, and
share it — subject, at most, to measures that preserve provenance and
openness.
Benefits of open science
• Science system vs.
individual researcher
• Quality
• Efficiency
• Reproducibility
• Credibility
• Visibility

Risks (?) of open science
• Blogging is a waste of precious time that could be spent on “legitimate”
publishing
• Because it’s a form of self-publishing that lacks peer review, blogging
isn’t usually viewed as a legitimate form of scholarship
• Dismissal of my work because it’s online [and] criticisms that my work
isn’t good enough to be published anywhere else.
• Sometimes blogging is even seen as disseminating one’s ideas too
freely. In a competitive academic field, research ideas could be
“scooped” from a blog, while established journals may not want to
publish work that’s available in some form online.

Doom of metrics: Academia fights back
San Francisco Declaration of Research Assessment (http://am.ascb.org/dora)
• “The declaration intends to halt the practice of correlating the
journal impact factor to the merits of a specific scientist's
contributions. [:] this practice creates biases and inaccuracies
when appraising scientific research. [:] the impact factor is not
to be used as a substitute ‘measure of the quality of individual
research articles, or in hiring, promotion, or funding decisions’”
Altmetrics Manifesto (http://altmetrics.org/manifesto)
• “Altmetrics expand our view of what impact looks like, but also of
what’s making the impact. [:] Unlike citation metrics, altmetrics
will track impact outside the academy, impact of influential but
uncited work, and impact from sources that aren’t peer-reviewed.
[:] The speed of altmetrics presents the opportunity to create
real-time recommendation and collaborative filtering systems”
Altmetrics in open science
The call for open metrics
• research products and data sources for metric development need
to be logically selected, open documented, and chosen in line with
the disciplinary norms;
• data that underlies metrics, indicators, and measurements need to
be open and accessible (preferably via automatic processes, e.g.
API);
• provision of software that was used for calculations;
• logical, scientific, and documented explanation of how data were
derived and metrics calculated.
