This episode of BIG OS – the Big Open Science Podcast, features a recording from the workshop “Reforming Research Evaluation in SSH: Embracing Open Science for Diversity, Interdisciplinarity and Inclusivity,” held at RESSH 2025 conference in Helsinki.
The workshop examined systemic limitations in current evaluation systems and explored how reform efforts—particularly those led by CoARA and the Helsinki Initiative on Multilingualism—can align research assessment with the core principles of Open Science: transparency, accessibility, and inclusivity.
Through a participatory group exercise based on the Evaluation Reform Blueprint, participants representing key stakeholder groups—researchers, funders and evaluators, librarians, publishers, and OS advocates—co-designed actionable, stakeholder-informed strategies for change.
