2/ TL;DR. Mohammad Hosseini, Serge Horbach, @kristiholmes and I explore GenAI's enormous potential to enhance accessibility and efficiency in science. But we emphasise that to do so, GenAI must bespeak Open Science principles of openness, fairness, and transparency.

Reform of research assessment, especially to avoid issues of over-quantification and empower qualitative assessment, is an increasingly hot topic. Part of the debate concerns the tension between the rigidity and flexibility of assessment criteria. Should they be set in stone to avoid biases or remain flexible to allow tailor-made assessments?

5/ 🌍 A Call for Responsible Use To ensure GenAI aligns with Open Science values: To ensure GenAI aligns with Open Science values:

Researchers must integrate GenAI with care and scrutiny.
Developers need to create transparent, unbiased tools.
Policymakers must balance innovation and risk.

In our new study, based on qualitative analysis of free-text responses from 121 international researchers to a survey, we examined researchers' perceptions of the social and political dimensions influencing research assessment processes. We highlight a significant discrepancy between formal evaluation criteria and their practical application, demonstrating the “performativity of assessment criteria” and raising the question to what extent criteria can or should be transparently communicated.

@dingemansemark Hi, thanks so much for these observations - the point about the degree to which the points are aspirational or real is well-taken. We'll incorporate this in revisions, as well as taking your new paper into consideration. Best, Tony
