Promoting Action to Build Research Communities in the Age of Open Science

该项目将举办为期一天的讲习班，召集主要大学领导人（例如，校长/教务长）将注意力集中在与在“开放”计算和数据科学中建立稳健的学术职业道路相关的问题上。这些科学家可能不适合传统的学术轨道模型，因为他们创造了与传统期刊文章不同的产出。本次研讨会将为大学领导者阐明在这些计算和数据科学学科的职业轨迹的机遇和挑战。预计成果将成为大学实施促进计算和数据科学学术事业的原则的可操作指南，机构通过专门的资金支持，学术活动指标，职业晋升程序等来支持他们。这反过来又会带来积极的社会变化。该项目将举办为期一天的讲习班，召集主要大学领导人（例如，校长/教务长），重点关注与建立“开放”计算和数据科学的强大学术职业道路有关的问题。这些科学家可能不适合传统的学术轨道模型，因为他们创造了与传统期刊文章不同的产出。与这种开放科学新范式相关的挑战正在所有研究领域中感受到，包括NSF内的代表。本次研讨会将为大学领导者阐明在这些计算和数据科学学科的职业轨迹的机遇和挑战。预计成果将成为大学实施促进计算和数据科学学术事业的原则的可操作指南，机构通过专门的资金支持，学术活动指标，职业晋升程序等来支持他们。这反过来又会带来积极的社会变化。

This project will conduct a one-day workshop to bring together key university leaders (e.g., presidents/provosts) to focus attention on issues related to establishing robust academic career paths in the "open" computational and data sciences. These scientists might not fit under traditional academic track models as they create different outputs than the traditional journal articles. This workshop will elucidate for university leaders the opportunities and challenges of career trajectories in such computational and data science disciplines. Outcomes are expected to be actionable guidelines for universities to operationalize principles for promoting academic careers in computational and data science, for agencies to support them through dedicated funding support, metrics of scholarly activity, procedures for career promotion, etc. Achieving the desired outcomes from the workshop will lead to massive impacts in terms of career paths for individuals, leading to more open scientists in higher positions, which will in turn lead to positive societal changes.

These scientists might not fit under traditional academic track models as they create different outputs than the traditional journal articles. The challenges identified related to this new paradigm of Open Science are being felt in all areas of research including those represented within the NSF.
