Current academic evaluation systems for hiring, tenure, and promotion rely heavily on misaligned traditional metrics that fail to capture essential open science practices.

Together with the Open Research Community Accelerator (ORCA), this Working Group focuses on developing tools for open science values-based assessment of data science faculty. Building on an existing values-based assessment framework, participants are creating data science-specific evaluation tools that center open science practices, identify barriers to adoption, meet their local contexts, and provide exemplars for other schools. This work addresses a critical bottleneck in open science adoption by fundamentally realigning academic incentives with community values.
