Culture of open scholarship

Last updated 27.2.2024

Openness has always been part of responsible research. However, in a short time, what is meant by openness has changed. New digital tools and society's expectations create opportunities, but they also push the research community to increase the transparency of research and change the ways in which research is carried out, how results are disseminated and how researchers are rewarded. 

Promoting the culture of open scholarship culture can mean, for example, valuing and enabling the work done for open science and research. In addition, the expert group will consider, among other things: 

  • Responsible practices related to the merit of the researcher and the evaluation of the research
  • Services needed for open science and research
  • Opportunities and challenges created by participatory citizen science 

Expert panel in Cuture for Open Scholarship

The expert panel in open research culture has the task of promoting and discussing issues concerning the openness of the research culture by, for example, writing recommendations and strategies and updating terminology and discussing the role of open access to research results, data and publications in evaluating researchers and research.

  • Expert panels contribute actively in the making of national policies and recommendations

The expert panel is chaired by Miki Kallio (OY) and the secretary is Jonni Karlsson (TSV).
