Imagine if your boss only judged your work by how many people read your reports, ignoring the actual quality or the help you gave others. This project creates a better way to track a scientist's real value by looking at everything they share, like data and software, not just papers. It's like moving from a simple star rating to a detailed performance dashboard for researchers.
Current research evaluation relies on narrow metrics like citation counts, ignoring the value of shared data and software. This discourages scientists from practicing open science because they aren't rewarded for it.
A federated data infrastructure, the SCOPE+i assessment toolkit, and a suite of metadata enrichment and monitoring tools.
If you are an analytics provider dealing with outdated citation metrics — this project developed a suite of enrichment and monitoring tools that provide a more complete picture of research impact. This allows you to offer deeper insights into how software and datasets are used.
If you are a government agency dealing with unfair grant distribution based on narrow metrics — this project developed the SCOPE+i toolkit that helps apply new assessment methods. This ensures funding goes to researchers who actually practice open science.
If you are a data firm dealing with fragmented research metadata — this project developed a federated infrastructure to integrate various data sources. This enables you to build services that track the uptake of research outputs more efficiently.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or commercial cost is mentioned as the project focuses on open infrastructure.
The project has completed 9 pilots to test the tools in real-world scenarios, suggesting it is moving toward scalability, though it remains an open infrastructure.
Based on available project data, the project emphasizes an 'open infrastructure' and 'Open Science', implying open access, but specific licenses are not listed.
It is designed as an EOSC-integrated infrastructure that federates data from sources like OpenCitations and Scholexplorer.
The project period runs from 2023-01-01 to 2025-12-31.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward the public sector, consisting of 18 partners from 10 countries. It is composed of 5 universities, 7 research organizations, and 6 other entities, with 0% industry participation and 0 SMEs. This indicates the project is driven by academic and policy goals rather than immediate commercial product development.
