Super excited to be at the kick-off of the @eScienceCenter Fellowship programme for 2024-2025!
I'll be working on the project that I proposed on tracking research outputs for the Faculty that I work at as a Data Steward! You can read my proposal here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10939832
eScience Center Fellowship Programme 2024: Application Form Esther Plomp
Proposal submitted by Esther Plomp on 8 April 2024 for the eScience Center Fellowship Programme 2024. Summary: Evaluation of researcher performance is currently a contested subject within academia. Although many researchers contribute to their field of expertise in a multitude of manners, the most stringent criteria of success is the number of research articles published. Subverting the current “publish or perish” culture requires a novel approach to the evaluation of research objects (such as software, data and methods) other than research articles. However, there is currently no standardised way to track such research objects. This project aims to identify and quantify the role of research objects, in particular research software, within the Faculty of Applied Sciences at TU Delft and evaluate how these are being shared within the research community. By monitoring open research objects such as software, the project aims to stimulate an open research culture and incentivise scientists to adhere to Open Science practices and the FAIR principles.
