The state of open science needs to be monitored to track changes over time and identify areas to create interventions to drive improvements. In order to monitor open science practices, they first need to be well defined and operationalized. To reach consensus on what open science practices to monitor at biomedical research institutions, we conducted a modified 3-round Delphi study. Participants were research administrators, researchers, specialists in dedicated open science roles, and librarians. In rounds 1 and 2, participants completed an online survey evaluating a set of potential open science practices, and for round 3, we hosted two half-day virtual meetings to discuss and vote on items that had not reached consensus. Ultimately, participants reached consensus on 19 open science practices. This core set of open science practices will form the foundation for institutional dashboards and may also be of value for the development of policy, education, and interventions.
开放科学的现状需要进行监测,以跟踪随时间的变化,并确定需要进行干预的领域,以推动改进。为了监测开放科学实践,首先需要对其进行明确定义和实施。为了就需要在生物医学研究机构中监测哪些开放科学实践达成共识,我们进行了一项经过修改的三轮德尔菲研究。参与者包括研究管理人员、研究人员、专门的开放科学角色专家以及图书馆员。在第 1 轮和第 2 轮中,参与者完成了一项在线调查,对一套潜在的开放科学实践进行了评估,在第 3 轮中,我们举办了两次为期半天的虚拟会议,讨论和投票表决尚未达成共识的项目。最终,参与者就 19 项开放科学实践达成了共识。这组核心的开放科学实践将构成机构仪表板的基础,对于政策、教育和干预措施的制定也可能具有价值。
