Panel Discussion: Open Science Monitoring - Asian Perspectives and Initiatives
Location

Description
Open science monitoring (OSM) is increasingly recognized as an important basis for highlighting, steering, and rewarding open science activities. I propose to host a panel which focuses on OSM with a focus on Asian academic institutions (for speakers, see below). Speakers will share their experiences with regard to their institution's activities and plans. In particular, we will focus on the information about open science practices that panelists currently collect or would like to collect, and for which purposes. The session aims to provide tangible takeaways for attendees, and so we will be concrete and increasingly focus the discussion on specific open science practices and on the practical steps that institutions can take to collect the necessary information. I will explore with the speakers how these activities contribute to national OSM initiatives, if applicable. Further, I will address the topic of national or regional specificities. This will help to assess transferability of monitoring efforts, address potential roadblocks, and might inspire listeners to make use of similar local infrastructures or policies. In the second half of the panel, I would like to shift the attention to the Open Science Monitoring Initiative (OSMI), of which all speakers are members. I will inquire about efforts to integrate results of their OSM with data collected by others, and which role the speakers see for OSMI in this regard. I would like to finish by asking each panelist to discuss the Principles of Open Science Monitoring adopted by OSMI by focusing on one principle which they have already implemented as part of their roles, as well as a principle they now aspire to implement.
