“ academic impact trumps excellence and relevance together, the cost of which is researchers deviating
from paths they would have followed were the incentive structures different.
If researchers continue to be assessed using such narrow criteria, scientific research
activities will become further dislocated from the needs of the society “

a 2.2 years delay would cost around EUR 5 million per firm in lost sales

“data accessibility is unclear!”
“data storage & access not considered”
www.fosteropenscience.eu
“Open Access to scientific knowledge is an essential principle in the project, but there is not enough information on data management or IPR.”
Can #OpenScience win Research Grants?(quotes from EC Evaluators 2014-2017)
“replace research impact indicators beyond the typical bibliometrics and
patenting”

“ two out of five studies substantially reproduced
research findings, although not all experiments met thresholds of
statistical significance ”

Benefits of machine readability & TDMhttps://core.ac.uk/
• Improve productivity in the curation of biomedical literature by 50%• Accelerate drug discovery, reducing the 10-12 year average timeframe
from discovery to market• Improves understanding of climate impact in the agro-industry• Helping to predict epidemics
