Recognising Open Research Practices in Recruitment and Promotion
UKRN Open Research ProgrammeOnline event
The UKRN Open and Responsible Researcher Reward and Recognition (OR4) project is reforming the ways in which institutions recruit, promote and appraise their staff, to better reward open research practices.
On 19th November 2024 it will host an all-day online event to share its work and encourage engagement with it.
We invite you to register for this event by completing the registration form.
Background
Key OR4 deliverables include an institutional toolkit, a community of practice and a landscape review:
- The institutional toolkit comprises an integrated maturity framework, self-assessment tool and guide to implementing responsible researcher assessment recognising open research.
- The community of practice comprises 49 institutions that have joined a collective initiative to reform how they recruit, promote and appraise staff to recognise open research; 15 of those institutions have a deeper level of engagement as ‘case study’ institutions.
- The landscape review is an online curated list of initiatives, resources and tools pertinent to reward and recognition for open research.
