Building an Evaluation Framework for Innovative Research Outputs in Social Sciences and Humanities

Recognising and evaluating diverse, non-traditional digital scholarly outputs in social sciences and humanities (SSH) is crucial for advancing inclusive and impactful research assessment practices. Aligning with principles from DORA, CoARA, and other international declarations, this presentation proposes a new framework for evaluating innovative outputs and projects such as digital monographs, other multimedia materials, datasets, software, and digital tools and platforms. The presentation is delivered by the OPERAS Innovation Lab – a collaborative initiative dedicated to supporting and advancing innovative services and solutions for scholarly communication in SSH.
