Quality assessment of SSH research: innovations and challenges - workshop slides

The 'Quality assessment of SSH research: innovations and challenges (T 6.6.)'  task force aims to support the development of the relevant OPERAS activities and services by informing them about current trends, gaps and community needs in research evaluation. This entails 1. teasing out the underlying reasons behind the persistence of certain proxies in the system (such as the ‘impact factors of the mind’ that continue to assign tacit prestige to certain publishers and forms of scholarship) and 2. the analysis of emerging trends and future innovation in peer review activities within the Humanities domain. This comprises two areas: innovation in peer review workflows (different flavours of openness, novel practices and tools) and the peer review of digital scholarly objects (such as digital critical editions, data, software etc.).

The slide deck below had been presented and discussed during ' The Future of Scholarly Communication – OPERAS-P Workshop' taking place online 24–26 February 2021.
