This document outlines the agenda for a two-day conference on OpenUP, a Horizon 2020 project. Day 1 includes sessions on reviewing, disseminating and assessing research as well as online tools and platforms. Day 2 focuses on the future of open science in research policies. The document also provides an introduction to the OpenUP project which aims to promote responsible research and open science practices through developing frameworks for open peer review, innovative dissemination and impact assessment.

Our mission
peningUP new methods, indicators and tools for
peer review
dissemination of research results
impact measurement
within the
Open Science
ecosystem
8. 2018-09-12 8
Overall Objectives
• Spread innovative Review – Disseminate –
Assess mechanisms
• Promote & support RRI in an Open Science
context
• Advance a more open and gender–sensitive
science system
• Perform an extensive landscape scan of Open
Science practices and tools
12. 2018-09-12 12
• analyse methods and tools, traditional but also
innovative and emerging ones
• define roles and processes in non-traditional peer
review
• provide a comprehensive view on research processes
and outputs
• develop a coherent, practical and validated framework
for open peer review
Open Peer Review
13. 2018-09-12 13
Innovative Dissemination
• investigate emerging approaches and communication
mechanisms that go beyond the traditional scientific
academic ones
• create an innovative dissemination toolbox of methods
& tools
• identify good practices and draft recommendations
• facilitate transfer of research outcomes to non-
researcher communities and get back further impact
evidence
14. 2018-09-12 14
Impact Assessment - Altmetrics
• perform a systematic review of current altmetrics
• generate a validated taxonomy, linking dissemination
channels with impact assessment indicators
• suggest indicators for assessing impact and quality of
the underlying research
• generate a set of indicators that relate to the openness
of software
• formulate quality criteria in relation to Open Data
15. 2018-09-12 15
Results
• cohesive framework for the Review – Disseminate – Assess phases
of the research lifecycle
• 7 pilots involving researchers from 4 scientific communities to
validate the proposed mechanisms
• open dialogue with and training for the community (workshops,
coaching videos, trainings…)
• practical policy recommendations & guidelines
• information Hub on open and responsible research

Tony: Welcome & introduction OpenUP Final Conference
Tony & Michela introduce themselves

Michela
Info about the conference dinner can be found in conference bag; we will go to a real Brussels Bistro where no one speaks English: Volle Gas; a 16 minutes walk from here;
People who haven’t done so, can still register at the Open UP HUB booth in the Marble Room (where coffee is served) during the FIRST COFFEE BREAK ONLY. Costs are 40 euros, for a 3 cource meal and basic drinks;
We have a conference code of conduct, to be found in conf bag; the organising committee is recognisable by an ‘organising committee’ sticker on their badge or clothes;
All during the conference we will use Mentimeter as a way to interact with everyone in the audience: you can use any device that has wifi to participate: code is found in the agenda (and on screen behind you now)
To try this together now:

Landscaping
This phase will determine traditional and ground-breaking mechanisms, processes and tools for peer-review, dissemination, and measuring impact of all types of research results. Using a variety of tools the OpenUP teams will scan the current landscape of traditional and innovative methods, tools and practices across disciplinary, thematic, regional, gender and age borders.
Peer review: Liaise with similar initiatives (e.g., OpenAIRE’s current task on Open Peer Review Systems which is performing a similar landscaping study, publishers like F1000 or Frontiers who have advanced ICT enabled peer review systems) and record the processes
Dissemination: This landscape scan will cover approaches as offered by traditional media (e.g. article in newspaper), industrial media (e.g. report as part of a weekly research related magazine) as well as social media (e.g. tweet). OpenUP will also scan for and interview selected FP7 or H2020 projects to see how they use such dissemination approaches and the impact they gain.
Impact and assessment: This will record existing and emerging indicators and how they are used in different settings or applications. It will design and carry out surveys and interviews to see what secondary impact indicators (e.g., job growth, societal impact) are important in which setting, and how we can possibly measure them.
All results will formatted and be published in the OpenUP “Open Information Hub” directories.
Analysing – Framework Phase 1
Based on the landscaping results, the OpenUP teams will perform a desk analysis in trying to come up with an initial framework for each of the three OpenUP pillars. Specifically, it will produce an interim framework document that will:
catalogue requirements from different stakeholders
break down processes to identify commonalities and gaps
define the qualitative and technical criteria to classify the processes
defineroles and their task allocation
define the interrelations among the three pillars and place them within the research workflow
The results of this phase will be heavily disseminated through the OpenUP and related platforms (e.g., OpenAIRE, RRI-tools.eu, Foster, Open Knowledge, RDA), and presented in the first OpenUP conference (M14) to stir the debate and discussions and raise awareness on the issues.
Assessing and validating
During this phase OpenUP will carry out a series of activities to test and validate the proposed innovative mechanisms and indicators against the requirements and needs by key stakeholders (e.g. researchers, funders, innovators, general public). The aim is to deliver first insights into the applicability and practicability of the proposed methods in specific settings and communities, as well as reflect on their effects on the stakeholders involved and on the scientific workflows.
Based on the initial findings, OpenUP will roll out seven (7) pilots (detailed in WP6 - Community driven use cases and pilots) related to the three pillars engaging with four research communities (life sciences, social sciences, energy, arts & humanity). Initially, the OpenUP teams will consult with the communities to define and refine the implementation and logistics of the pilots to ensure that they reflect the hitherto defined/identified roles, processes, challenges, opportunities as well as identify key questions that may need further investigation.
Policy reviewing
The question of how the research findings are (and should be) linked to policy is a key goal of RRI practices and is therefore of direct relevance to OpenUP. Linkages between research and policy may well vary among the three key project pillars, disciplines, research communities and between Member States, depending on their overall structuring. It is therefore important to map and analyse the national contexts and existing policies in order to understand areas where our findings and recommendations could support evidence-based R&I policy. OpenUP will carry out the following activities to gather and analyse the data and produce summary reports (to be published in the Open Information Hub and feed into the final policy recommendations):
Desk research and analysis of available literature.
Field research: interviews with policymakers and survey of key stakeholders in selected countries from the EU-15, EU-13 and Associated Countries (8 countries in total);
Synthesizing – Framework Phase 2
The last phase of OpenUP will produce a set of practical policy recommendations for EU, national and institutional policymakers for supporting the transition to appropriate and timely measures of quality assurance related to peer review, innovative dissemination of the and their impact measurement. Based on the previous phases, the OpenUP team will gather all findings (individual frameworks related to the OpenUP pillars, consultations, feedback from validation activities and use cases, policy reviews), will evaluate possible collaborative initiatives between key stakeholders, including researchers, peer reviewers, publishers and policymakers when using the developed approaches and tools to support evidence-informed research and innovation policy. It will do by a) performing a SWOT analysis to propose optimal ways and good practices of implementing in the different European settings and research communities, and b) validating results in focus groups.
