Researchers invest significant effort in organising and facilitating openness, sharing and reuse of research.
Both institutions and research councils and other financers consider this work very important, and contributions to openness and sharing of research results have become part of both researcher assessments and the evaluation of applications for funding.
Researcher assessment at UiO
UiO has developed a competence and assessment matrix that can be used as a framework for assessing researchers during hiring and promotion processes.
As part of the assesment of scientific qualifications, open publishing, sharing of research tools and methods and contributions to open research are included as criteria.
