Evidence of benefits of open research information

Coordinators: Christian Hauschke (TIB - Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology), Núria Benítez Monforte (Institució CERCA)



This working group focuses on clarifying the benefits of open research information for researchers, institutional leadership, and research managers.

Its goal is to support decision-making by demonstrating the value of open research information and by developing a benefits framework and stakeholder map that clarify how these benefits are experienced across the research ecosystem.

The group’s work is organized into two task forces.
