The 11th PUBMET2024 Conference on Scholarly Communication in the Context of Open Science

12-13 September 2024

Following the Summer School, this year’s PUBMET2024 Conference will explore the core of open scholarly communication by focusing on the central theme of research assessment. We invite participants to examine the challenges ingrained in this process, including openness and transparency, bias mitigation, robustness, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency optimisation. Moreover, we aim to continue discussions on enhancing the peer review process, encompassing reviewer diversity, role clarification, capacity building, and technological advancements.

Ensuring integrity in assessment practices remains essential in this era of rapidly evolving research landscapes. PUBMET2024 seeks to address the ethical dimensions of research assessment, emphasising the recognition of diverse scientific outputs and advocating for the responsible utilisation of proxies and metrics. We recognise the value of content-based evaluation methodologies while supporting transformative initiatives that propel scholarly communication towards greater inclusivity and efficacy.
