OpenUP - OPENing UP new methods, indicators and tools for peer review, impact measurement and dissemination of research results
OpenUP (OPENing UP new methods, indicators and tools for peer review, dissemination of research results, and impact measurement), is a European project funded by the Horizon2020 program, which intends to analyze the transformations in the current scientific research scenario with the aim of 1) identify innovative mechanisms, processes and tools for peer review applied to all research results (publications, software and data), 2) explore the mechanisms of innovative dissemination effective for businesses, industry, education sector and society in the as a whole and 3) analyze a set of new indicators (altmetrics) that assess the impact of research results by linking them to channels for dissemination.
OpenUp uses a user-centered methodology. This methodological approach not only involves all stakeholders (researchers, publishing houses, research funding bodies, institutions, industry and the general public) in a series of workshops, conferences and training courses, but aims to test the results acquired in a pilot studies set. The latter are linked to the three pillars of the project (peer review, dissemination of results and measure of innovative impact) and are applied to some specific communities and research sectors: humanities, social sciences, energy and life sciences.
IRPPS-CNR participates in the research activities of WP4 on the innovative dissemination of scientific research products and in those of WP6 where it deals with the realization of a pilot study on the open peer review of data in the Social Sciences
