Yesterday, our colleague @Helena Cousijn attended the EARMA Annual Conference 2026 in Utrecht, where she facilitated a breakout table discussion on "Leveraging open research metadata in your work."

Great to see the #research management community engaging with open #metadata and how it can support their day-to-day work.

"Why Integrators Belong Nowhere. Integration expertise exists in universities and policy work, so why can’t institutions recognize or resource it?" https://rubenbaetens.substack.com/p/two-worlds-one-skill-why-integrators Great reflections by Ruben Baetens on a world I worked in for many years. #SciPol #SciCom #Researchmanagement
Why Integrators Belong Nowhere

Integration expertise exists in universities and policy work, so why can’t institutions recognize or resource it?

Ruben’s Substack

Conflating "Responsible Metrics" with "Responsible Assessment" is a common strategic error in research management.

Responsible Metrics focus on data sources and quantification (the technical side). Responsible Assessment focuses on institutional processes, ethics, and people (the political/governance side).

Adopting better data tools (like OpenAlex) without reforming decision-making cultures is not a solution. It is often just a way to make the same mistakes using better data.

My latest analysis on why this distinction is critical for policy design: https://copdeb.com/2025/12/22/diferencia-metricas-responsable-evaluacion-responsable/
