Open Science, Next Generation Metrics, and the World of Publishing

The starting point is the LERU Next Generation Metrics report aiming to maximising its utility for universities by compiling an extensive list of valuable resources on next-generation metrics. It places strong emphasis on the imperative of collaboration, both among universities and between universities and funding agencies. By leveraging international expertise in bibliometrics and informatics, universities will enhance their resilience, reduce dependence on a limited number of companies that provide (seemingly) pre-packaged research intelligence, and gain a greater capacity to shape their metric policies in alignment with their own missions, rather than relying solely on standard metrics and data availability.
