Community voices in research assessment: the SSH perspective

Erratum: The previous version contained an incorrect PDF. This version includes the correct poster. This poster presents the approach, tools, and key outcomes of the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) Pilot within the GraspOS project, which focuses on reforming research assessment. The central theme is the importance of community involvement and co-creation in defining what should be valued in SSH research evaluation. Guided by the SCOPE Framework’s principle “Evaluate with the evaluated,” the pilot engaged the SSH community through a Community of Practice and a series of consultation and validation workshops. Tools and Activities: The pilot applied the SCOPE Framework and community-driven approaches including workshops, evaluation sessions, and a validation event. Co-creation Process: A key element was the collaborative evaluation of a Narrative CV template adapted for SSH disciplines. Based on the Royal Society’s model, this version was refined to ensure fair recognition of diverse outputs, activities, and Open Science contributions. Key Outcomes: The SSH Pilot produced: Community-validated guidance and recommendations A robust framework outlining priorities for SSH research assessment Greater understanding of how to leverage open infrastructures for responsible and Open Science-aware evaluation Overall, the pilot aimed to give the SSH community a real voice and ownership in shaping the future of research assessment reform.
