Join us in Geneva the 16th of September 2025 at the Open Science Fair for this panel! As Open Science policies multiply, how do we know if they’re working? This panel brings together global leaders to explore emerging frameworks, indicators, and tools for tracking Open Science adoption and impact. From national monitors to institutional pilots, we’ll examine how to move beyond metrics that oversimplify—and toward evidence that informs, includes, and drives meaningful change. https://www.opensciencefair.eu/panels/made-to-measure-how-do-we-responsibly-monitor-and-assess-open-science

Very excited to be going to the European Conference on Ethics and Integrity in Academia, next week in Uppsala! The program looks very exciting, bringing together stakeholders to discuss critical issues. https://academicintegrity.eu/conference/2024/11/15/about-eceia-25/

🤩 Exciting news from our Advisory Board member David Mellor! Just a few days until the Metascience 2025 Conference kicks off with a presentation about the updated TOP Guidelines.

❓What is TOP? The Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Guidelines were created by journals, funders, and societies to align scientific ideals with practices. TOP 2025 provides a comprehensive suite of tools to increase the verifiability of research claims through seven Research Practices, two Verification Practices, and four Verification Study types. The updated framework offers flexibility for journals, publishers, funders, and institutions to implement transparency standards at three levels (Disclose, Share and Cite, or Certify) while establishing community-wide standards for research integrity.

💯 This represents a significant advancement in open science practices that directly supports our mission at the Science Integrity Alliance.
