Seminarium Open Accesss
For the fifteenth time, the University of Lodz is organising the Open Access Seminar as part of the International Open Science Week. For over a dozen years, we have been inviting the academic community to discuss topics that are key to the development of the idea of open science in Poland, and in 2024 we have identified the place of open science in the evaluation and assessment of scientific activities as such a topic. Therefore, we are organising a discussion panel at the University of Lodz Library with the participation of experts who will share various experiences and perspectives with us – and with each other. We want to discuss topics such as: (absence) of open science in evaluation, non-bibliometric aspects of the evaluation of scientific activities, the specificity of the discipline and evaluation criteria, initiatives to improve the science evaluation system (especially the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment: CoARA), possible directions of development of the Polish system for assessing science and scientists.
We hope that the debate initiated as part of the Seminar will become a field for exchanging views and will familiarise the academic community with the assumptions and postulates of the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment, which the University of Lodz joined in 2022.
This year’s edition of Open Access Week will be held on October 21-27, 2024, under the slogan “Community over Commercialisation” – a continuation of last year’s edition.
