Panel discussion: All the Pieces Matter: how to make Open Science the new normal? at @ScienceEurope
With @naubertbonn, @StefEurope, @marindacos and @JohanRooryck
#RoadtoOpenScience

@ScienceEurope @naubertbonn @StefEurope @marindacos @JohanRooryck "Open Access for scientific publication is key" - @JohanRooryck

"272 universities in Europe responded to the 2017 survey on #OpenScience and the practices. It is highly diverse: 54% had an Open Science policy, only 9% didn't and weren't developing one" @StefEurope

"3 recommendations:
1. We need to involve all the stakeholders, university leaders have to be involved.
2. We need to invest for policies to go into practices, alligned globally if possible.
3. Integrate it in the reward system" @StefEurope on #OpenScience

"There is a fear that #OpenScience might disrupt competitiveness, scientists are trained to compete with one another. We need a culture change so researchers understand the benefits of collaboration"
- @naubertbonn

@naubertbonn @JohanRooryck stresses how citizens, more and more, demand access to research and publications. Practitioners also need access to this primary literature, making it useful for society.
#RoadtoOpenScience

@naubertbonn @JohanRooryck "We are rethinking what we mean by impact and how to assess it, as before it was almost an internal process" - @naubertbonn

@naubertbonn @JohanRooryck @gravana and @marindacos discuss about the importance about sharing #ResearchData and the questions that this brings up.
"If you don't consider data and software as first class research outputs, they will not be of the highest quality"

"Member states are strongly behind in #OpenScience, it's unique to see how they are ready to change their support and asses the legal barriers. A dialog between member states, governments and stakeholders must take place to take this opportunity" @StefEurope

@gravana asks the panelists about #OpenData and #OpenResearch
@JohanRooryck: "If we keep rewarding publications instead of saving data sets, we are not working in the right direction"

"Some funding agencies are starting to recognise data outputs, but they are rated lower than publications. We need time to change this" - @naubertbonn
#OpenData #OpenResearch

"One thing is to have stakeholders being engaged, but we need researcher-level engagement, by training and raising awareness" @StefEurope

@naubertbonn adds that we need as well to listen to researchers apart form training them and raising awareness to bring them on-board

How does the public sector fit in?
@StefEurope: "Researchers will move from one sector to another, and even students. We need to speak and listen to the private sector so that at least they are aware of how the world is changing"

@StefEurope What can make #OpenScience the new normal?
@naubertbonn: We're going in the right direction. We need to continue involving the research community, their perspectives and what would help them be better researchers

What can make #OpenScience the new normal?
@StefEurope: Holistic aspect is key. We need to go to FAIR data and other other aspects. The reform of research assessment will be a good way of doing this.

@StefEurope continues: At @EUACDE, research assessment is one step, we need to go beyond, take it to career assessment. It would even go beyond #OpenScience

What can make #OpenScience the new normal?
@marindacos: We need to embed it everywhere in the research ecosystem, providing data competence centers for example. We need to think about digital services. We need to simplify the process

What can make #OpenScience the new normal?
@JohanRooryck: We need different assessment, because we need a new research culture. We need to start at first year in university, with courses.

@JohanRooryck @JohanRooryck continues: There should be a component of #OpenScience, that is how we will change it. Change by incentives is good, but the best is to make the change from the bottom
