The Research Data Alliance (RDA) organised workshops on 15 and 20 May 2025, to demonstrate the RDA’s policy impact and encourage implementation of RDA recommendations and outputs in different policy contexts. The workshops focused on critical policy areas that form essential research infrastructure including Research Evaluation for creating systems that reward responsible research practices.
Research Evaluation Reform
The evolution of research evaluation from being mostly bibliometric based is a key enabler of robust, equitable, inclusive and diverse open research practices. This paper emphasises the need to reward diverse research contributions, such as datasets, software, and Open Science practices. It includes case studies like CoARA’s national implementation in France, the SHARC Interest Group’s policy influence, and the Netherlands’ €1.2M Open Science career evaluation initiative.
