• UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science
  2021 recommendations take a human rights approach to science, saying it shouldn’t be imposed on us by experts; it’s an interaction with everyone -- and everyone is a stakeholder. The recommendations define shared values and principles and identify concrete measures on open access and open data, "with proposals to bring citizens closer to science and commitments to facilitate the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge around the world." 
   
• Utrecht University’s Open Science program

  Utrecht University's new Open Science program, which departments will implement in 2022, has four tracks: Open access, FAIR data/software, public engagement, and recognition & rewards. Some of their changes to promotion and tenure include: Move away from JIF and other “simple counting”; instead, consider all types of outputs and a narrative assessment. Metrics should only be used to support or complement qualitative measures. Refer to the Leiden Manifesto as a guide to using metrics. Incentivize collaboration and teamwork, teaching, leadership, and societal impact.
