Shifting research assessment to open science and beyond
In 2024, KT Connects is focusing on open science — the practice of making scientific inputs, outputs, and processes freely available to all with minimal restrictions. Learn more.
Webinar summary
Friday, September 27
12 – 1 p.m. PST
In this webinar, Dr. Kelly Cobey will provide an overview of national and international science policy related to open science. She will discuss why implementing open science has been relatively slow in Canada and share considerations to drive improvements.
She will talk about the academic incentives and rewards used in the Canadian research system, explaining why they can be ineffective to help most funders or institutions reach mission-driven goals. She will use examples to highlight instances where the system could be improved to align with patient preferences.
Learning objectives
After this webinar, the audience will be able to:
• describe limitations of the current system of incentives and rewards in research
• describe what open science is and factors that impact its implementation
• identify relevant Canadian science policies and frameworks related to open science and research assessment
