The European University Association Welcomes the Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information The EUA has been a force for progressive change amongst universities in both Europe and globally including leadership in the drafting of the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment and the formation of Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment. This week the EUA posted on the Barcelona Declaration saying: "EUA welcomes the call to promote the openness of research information as a way to advance responsible research assessment and Open Science and to promote unbiased high-quality decision making[...]Supporting the transition towards the openness of research information will contribute to developing a just scholarly publishing ecosystem, fostering the adoption of FAIR research data, and implementing responsible research assessment practices. The principles promoted in the Barcelona Declaration also echo EUA’s advocacy for a more holistic approach to openness in research and the commitment to develop responsible, inclusive, transparent and sustainable evaluation practices for research activities and careers." https://lnkd.in/gtPGqDB4
