Call for Papers: RESSH Conference 2024 "Open Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences: Evaluation, Infrastructure and Practices"
The RESSH Conference is the biennial conference of the international association ENRESSH (European Network for Research Evaluation in the SSH). It brings together specialists in various research evaluation and research policy topics, with a particular focus on the social sciences, humanities, and arts (SSH).
The theme of the RESSH 2024 Conference is "Open Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences: Evaluation, Infrastructure and Practices" with the aim of stimulating debate on the tension between open research and research evaluation criteria, best practices for promoting the culture of open research and the social impacts of open research.
Open research is understood in a broad sense, ranging from reflecting the application of FAIR principles in SSH research and research evaluation in general, to encompassing research integrity, as well as the social and economic sustainability of SSH research and research evaluation practices. As with the first three RESSH conferences, abstracts on any topic relevant to SSH research evaluation are also welcome. Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:
