Assessing Open Science: Opportunities and Challenges

Materials from the GraspOS Community of Practice meeting held on 11 June 2025 Topic of Discussion In a previous Community of Practice meeting, one of our panelists introduced a distinction between monitoring Open Science and assessing Open Science, arguing that the former is relatively unproblematic while the latter involves major challenges and risks. In this CoP session, Elizabeth Gadd (INORMS and CoARA) and Natalia Manola (OpenAIRE) discuss the opportunities and challenges of assessing Open Science. What are the technical and social challenges of assessing Open Science in a fair an inclusive manner, and what are the opportunities that research assessment reform movements may present to include Open Science?
