Investigating institutional structures of reward and recognition in Open Science (OS) and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI)

This submission presents two original research studies contributing to a better understanding of current reward structures, incentives and practices as they are applied across geographical boundaries. The first part of this study provides a systematic analysis of institutional Promotion, Review and Tenure policies (PRT) to determine the extent to which they, at this point in time, embed Open Science (OS) and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) indicators, where an international dataset of PRT policies was collected and annotated. The second part is based on an international survey of active researchers. It aims to assess their attitudes towards OS and RRI as well as their experience with the application of assessment indicators in PRT processes at their institutions. Additionally, it aims to identify promising incentives that would encourage researchers to practice OS and RRI
