Paper Short Abstract
We present the Researcher Profile, a platform developed within the GraspOS project to display researchers' contributions, emphasizing Open Science practices. It integrates data from OpenAIRE Graph and ORCID and incorporates emerging indicator frameworks.
Paper Abstract
The reform of research assessment is a central priority in European policy, emphasising transparency, inclusivity and responsible evaluation. . The GraspOS project (graspos.eu)—Next Generation Research Assessment to Promote Open Science—advances this effort by developing tools and services to support institutions in implementing responsible research assessment practices.
At the core of this work is the Researcher Profile, a platform designed to showcase researchers’ diverse contributions, while prioritising Open Science principles. It integrates the OpenAIRE Graph, an open research database for scholarly communication that connects research outputs, projects, and collaborations across institutions. Additionally, it aggregates preprints from major repositories, ensuring comprehensive visibility of early-stage research. Additionally, it includes data on 110K organizations with ROR identifiers, reinforcing institutional recognition and interoperability.
The platform builds on emerging indicator frameworks from recent initiatives and projects that aim to reward diverse research skills, career trajectories, and contributions to research impact. It aligns with the principles of CoARA and DORA, allowing for qualitative assessment through Narrative CVs, Open Science indicators and activities, and the illustration of impact activities.
The Researcher Profile integrates quantitative assessments/measures with qualitative narratives, supporting a fairer and more inclusive evaluation of research careers. It highlights Open Science contributions and ensures that research impact is recognised beyond publications and citations.
This work highlights our collaboration with ROR, ORCID, and OSF.io, emphasising integrated open infrastructure for responsible assessment. Our approach strengthens transparency, context-aware evaluation frameworks, promotes diverse career paths, and aligns with European efforts for a fair and inclusive research ecosystem.
