Aimed at leaders in the institution, the event will posit open publishing as a key factor in improving research outcomes while safeguarding quality. Participants will discuss how to align publishing practices with funder policies, promote responsible research assessment, and combat predatory journals by encouraging researchers to publish in and review for reputable outlets.Key themes include the alignment of open publishing with government policy, particularly the National Open Research Framework (NORF), which promotes a culture of open research across Ireland. The event will also suggest practical routes to open publishing and local initiatives like Responsible Assessment, ensuring research outputs meet the highest standards.
