For the purposes of with its members, it supports open science as an this survey report, this means that open science integral component of a well-functioning research includes, but is not limited to a wide range of system, and as a key contributor to the evolution policies and research practices like open access of research cultures. [...] This part of the survey focussed on the breadth and coverage of current and planned research assessment practices for open science, the extent to which individual element of open science are supported and assessed, as well as the direction of future changes. [...] The results of this section highlight the depth and link can be established between the elements of breadth to which open science is incorporated in open science mentioned in strategic documents assessment processes by research funding organ- and their targeting as part of assessment pro- isations, and the varied approaches taken to the cesses, showing a level of coherence between collection of in. [...] Although, the familiar pattern can open access to research articles and books, and still be resolved, the less traditional elements of FAIR and open research data, with 75% of re- open science are recognised more broadly and sponding organisations who include open science by a higher proportion of responding organisa- in their track record assessments recognising tions. [...] The survey results highlight the contribution of While the survey provides a descriptive analysis open science and research assessment reform to of their open science strategies, these workshops research and innovation policy.
