Indicators for Open Science

January 20, 2021

Background

Open Access, Open Research Data and Open Research Software: these topics are shaping the current discussions on Open Science in the Helmholtz Association. But what indicators can be used to identify the cultural shift towards Open Science? The Helmholtz Open Science Forum was dedicated to this aspect under the motto “Indicators for Open Science” on January 20, 2021.

To stimulate further discussion, the Helmholtz Open Science Office invited all interested employees of the Helmholtz Association to a virtual Helmholtz Open Science Forum.

After an introduction and two keynote speeches on the experiences of the Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS) in the field of knowledge transfer and open access to medical research data at the Charité, contributions were made to the discussion on the three aspects of 1) Open Access, 2) Open Research Data and 3) Open Research Software for the formulation of indicators.

In preparation for the Helmholtz Open Science Forum on “Indicators for Open Science”, the Helmholtz Open Science Office has published a discussion paper on this topic, which addresses some key questions for the Forum: doi.org/10.2312/os.helmholtz.014

The Helmholtz Open Science Forum on “Indicators for Open Science” is documented in the following reportdoi.org/10.48440/os.helmholtz.024
