This presentation was provided by Iain Hrynaszkiewicz of Open Research Solutions during the two-day "NISO Tech Summit: Reflections Upon The Year of Open Science." Day one was held on October 25, 2023.

1. Iain Hrynaszkiewicz, Director, Open Research Solutions
A Publisher’s
Perspective
on Open
Science
NISO
Technology
Summit
October 2023

2. 1. How might publishers align with the principles and
goals of open science while maintaining financial
sustainability?
2. How can we ensure the quality and integrity of
research in an open science environment?
Two different questions

3. 1. Understand researchers’ / stakeholders’ needs
2. Raise awareness of requirements and benefits
3. Remove barriers to participation
4. Be open and collaborative ourselves
5. Change incentives
That can be answered with similar strategies

4. Key definitional point: It’s not just about “outputs”

5. 1. Understand
researchers’ /
stakeholders’ needs

6. By doing research

7. And through partnerships and collaborations

8. 2. Raise awareness of
requirements and
benefits (policies,
outreach)

9. Policies can incentivise open science

10. But be aware of Goodhart’s Law

11. 3. Remove barriers to
participation

12. Removing financial barriers with business models

13. Removing practical barriers with technology…
Ni, R. & Waltman, L. (2023). https://doi.org/10.55835/6442f782b2b5580ba561406b

14. …and language barriers…

-publish-multilingual-articles/

15. …and integrity and participation barriers

16. 4. Be open and
collaborative
ourselves

17. Open (meta)data, open processes

18. Collaboration on research integrity challenges

19. 5. Change incentives

20. Means changing our business priorities
Goals:
(i) Increase adoption of
Open Science practices
(ii) Increase the benefits of
adopting Open Science
practices
Solutions:
Anything that helps achieve
these goals (e.g. policy,
technology, product,
outreach, workflows,
guidance)

21. And using reliable data to measure success
Access the Open
Science Indicators
dataset:

22. Changing incentives for researchers, also…

23. …means changing, or measuring, what we value
