[The CIVIS Newsroom ](https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom) 2. Open Science: read our statement Open Science: read our statement ================================== General 26 maj 2021 We, the CIVIS community of scholars, hereby declare our commitment to the values of Open Science. To reach CIVIS’s goal of making teaching and research as open as possible, as is stated in CIVIS’s Mission statement, we commit to openly sharing the products of our research and scholarship, and therefore state the following: #### Research Indicators and Next-Generation Metrics in support of Open Science CIVIS universities promote the development of new research indicators to complement the conventional indicators for research quality and impact, so as to do justice to open science practices and, going beyond pure bibliometric indicators, to promote also non-bibliometric research products. In particular, the metrics should extend the conventional bibliometric indicators in order to cover new forms of research outputs, such as research data and research software. #### CIVIS universities encourage more responsible approaches to the use of metrics to improve research assessment in support of Open Science. Incentives and Rewards for researchers to engage in Open Science activities Research career evaluation systems should fully acknowledge open science activities. CIVIS members encourage the inclusion of Open Science practices in their assessment mechanisms for rewards, promotion, and/or tenure, along with the [Open Science Career Assessment Matrix](https://ec.europa.eu/research/openscience/pdf/os_rewards_wgreport_final.pdf). #### FAIR Data As research data continue to increase in volume, complexity, and creation speed, the[ FAIR principles](https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/) 4 aim to provide guidelines to improve the **F**indability, **A**ccessibility, **I**nteroperability, and **R**e-use of data. Each FAIR principle consists of a set of characteristics that data and metadata must have in order to facilitate their discovery and use by both humans and machines. CIVIS universities promote the FAIR principles, support their researchers to make their data FAIR and provide their researchers with the appropriate infrastructure and guidance for describing, storing, and sharing their data. #### Future of scholarly communication The CIVIS universities support the Open Access Transformation in scholarly communication. In doing so, they are involved in the various forms of Open Access: open access publications, institutional repositories, open-source software, open publishing platforms. They also support efforts to preserve all the actors of the publishing value chain, according to the principle of *bibliodiversity* developed in the [Jussieu Call](https://jussieucall.org/jussieu-call/). All publications produced in the context of the CIVIS project should be available in Open Access, in compliance with the national legislation concerning intellectual property rights (IPR). #### Open educational resources CIVIS universities encourage the development and use of open educational resources (OER) by its members and support the CIVIS academic community by providing training about OER design, IPR, open licenses, etc. Incentives for enhancing cooperation among CIVIS members for joint OER development should be provided, mainly by sharing OER support services & infrastructure (learning management systems, platforms, applications, tools). All educational material produced within the CIVIS project should be provided as OER. CIVIS contributes to the open education movement by opening selected courses and other educational resources to the general public. #### Collaboration with society The CIVIS universities promote open science in all its aspects and therefore spread the knowledge to the general public by supporting citizen science initiatives. A key goal is to increase the public's awareness of open science in order to gain access and contribute to research, and to develop several forms of collaboration between academia and the general public. CIVIS is committed to the development of Open Science. Our universities collaborate and exchange best practices along the points included in this statement, and the implementation of open science as a way forward for the future of European universities. This statement is consistent with the EU’s open science policy 6 developed by the European Commission, including the EOSC initiative - [ o110-civis-open-science-statement.pdf (PDF, 101 KB) ](https://civis.eu/storage/files/o110-civis-open-science-statement.pdf) Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/civis-waves-800x600.jpg?token=4ea7a62e44f510793d7d4762d1bfd7d0)Make Some Waves: CIVIS Launches New Podcast Series Communication and Dissemination 7 april 2026 ](https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/make-some-waves-civis-launches-new-podcast-series) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/54805470097-31c66c77be-o-800x600.jpg?token=980b064b220959ac82b0f21d856d3439)Study, Travel, Connect: CIVIS Launches New Wave of BIPs Across Europe Learn 2 april 2026 ](https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/study-travel-connect-civis-bips-2026-launch-across-europe) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/civis-coms-unit-open-labs-ulb-3-800x600.jpg?token=81a838003cdbd38bc7b7cc20d11654b8)Calling academic teams to set in motion impactful projects for democracy Connect 1 april 2026 ](https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/calling-academic-teams-to-set-in-motion-impactful-projects-for-democracy) [Upptäck alla våra berättelser](https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom) [ Stockholm University opens one of its doctoral school to CIVIS PhD candidates ](< https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/stockholm-university-opens-one-of-its-doctoral-school-to-civis-phd-candidates >) [ E-journey back into Nano ](< https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/e-journey-back-into-nano >) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
