To evaluate the current hiring practices of academic institutions around the world, with regard to the mention of advertisements for Open Science (OS) in research based, faculty, and postdoctoral positions.
Cross-sectional study, using 189 global institutions from the Center for Science and Technology Leiden ranking of world universities of 2017, including the U15 Group (Canadian Research-Intensive Universities), and five self-selected supplementary institutions.
The main outcome measure for our study is the level of OS in job advertisements, assessed using the Modified Open Science Modular Scheme.
After assessing 305 job advertisements for academic positions in 91 institutions, only 2 (0.6%) had any explicit mention of OS in their job advertisements on the Modified Open Science Modular Scheme. The sample assessed the level of open science for 39.0% Associate and/or Assistant professor positions, 30.8% Researcher and/or Postdoctoral fellow positions, and 18.7% of Tenured positions. The remaining 11.5% were for positions such as lectureship, research associate, chair, dean, director and other.
This study emphasizes the need for increased recognition of OS as a characteristic in research-active job advertisements. As evident in the alarmingly low percentage of job advertisements that mentioned OS (0.6%), the movement towards enhanced OS profiles across academic institutions is highly encouraged. This can be achieved through increased recognition of OS in research job advertisements and demonstrating the means in which institutions promote OS such as, encouraging preprints, publishing in open access journals, and the importance of data sharing.
评估全球学术机构目前的招聘实践，重点关注基于研究的教职员工和博士后职位广告中对开放科学（OS）的提及。
采用 2017 年莱顿世界大学排名中心的 189 所全球机构和 U15 集团（加拿大研究密集型大学）的横断面研究，以及五个自选补充机构。
我们研究的主要结果衡量标准是使用修改后的开放科学模块化方案评估职位广告中的 OS 水平。
在评估了 91 家机构的 305 个学术职位广告后，只有 2 个（0.6%）在其职位广告中使用修改后的开放科学模块化方案明确提到了 OS。该样本评估了副教授和/或助理教授职位的开放科学水平为 39.0%，研究员和/或博士后职位为 30.8%，终身教职职位为 18.7%。其余 11.5%是为讲师、研究助理、主席、院长、主任和其他职位保留的。
这项研究强调了在研究活跃的职位广告中增加对 OS 的认可的必要性。从明显低得令人震惊的提到 OS 的职位广告百分比（0.6%）可以看出，强烈鼓励在学术机构中推广 OS 以增强 OS 配置文件。这可以通过增加对研究职位广告中 OS 的认可并展示机构如何促进 OS 来实现，例如鼓励预印本、在开放获取期刊上发表以及数据共享的重要性。
