Description

This report is D2.1 of the OPUS project on Interventions to Test in the Pilots. It proposes a first draft framework of interventions that has been designed to support and accompany the OPUS Research Assessment Framework (RAF) which offers a comprehensive suite of indicators and metrics for research-performing organisations (RPOs) and research-funding organisations (RFOs) to assess researchers for career progression and grant applications. It will also support a specific framework of indicators and metrics to incentivise and reward Open Science career practice, the Open Science Career Assessment Matrix (OSCAM). Detailed description of the framework can be found in D3.1 Indicators/Metrics to Test in the Pilots which should be read in partnership with this document.
This is intended to be a draft framework which will then be tested in two ways during the OPUS project. Firstly, it will be open to wider sector consultation which we intend will be credible and robust to align and build on existing similar initiatives that are in progress for example, the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (COARA) and another Horizon Europe project GRASP OS. Secondly it will be tested as part of the OPUS project in our three-pilot RPOs and two RFOs. Feedback will then be incorporated and considered in detail to inform the final versions of the two complementary frameworks – D2.4 Interventions for Open Science and D3.4 Indicators for Open Science.
