The scientific reward system from the perspective of Open Science: evaluation dimensions, characteristics and challenges

Abstract

This is a qualitative bibliographical research that aimed to discuss the Scientific Reward System based on its evaluation dimensions, characteristics and challenges in the light of Open Science. Its methodological process was based on the exploration of national and international databases, bibliometric procedures and content analysis of 42 works. The data demonstrated that the most significant dimension of the Open Science Reward System is Open Science Practices (92.8%) and Open Science Assessment Policies (71.4%). There was a lack of reference researchers on the topic, which has recently begun to gain notoriety in the scientific literature. Sharing research data and scientific reproducibility are the Open Science practices most receptive to by the scientific community and most recognized by the Scientific Reward System. As challenges, the need for more research based on metrics that support a reward system, studies that address the influence of social factors and phenomena in this system, as well as those that consider the reality of peripheral countries in the face of a system based on practices were identified. of Open Science.
