Fostering cultural change in research through innovative knowledge sharing, evaluation, and community engagement strategies

Abstract

Bringing together researchers, funders, industry partners, and publishers from 14 countries across 5 continents, we advance the debate around open-science, assessment and learning. We introduce an integrative "open knowledge system" framework linking knowledge production, validation, assessment, and reuse into one ecosystem view, and translate it into actionable recommendations for each stakeholder. Shifting focus to modular, machine-readable knowledge objects, these recommendations are intended to help diagnose misaligned incentives and guide reforms that properly value all scientific contributions.
