Charting multidimensional academic careers: How can repositories contribute?

Open Science is a global transition aimed at making scientific research practices more open and collaborative for improved scientific and societal impact, and is globally promoted as the new normal. But practices reflecting the Open Science values, such as sharing results and engaging with stakeholders outside of academia, are not the norm yet, because they are generally not rewarded. 
Since 2019, Dutch knowledge institutions and research funders have been working together to broaden the recognition of academic work: a position paper was produced, a national recognition and rewards programme was launched, and the international Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment was signed. In April of this year, a next phase kicked off with the publication of a national roadmap defining very concrete steps to implement a new recognition and rewards approach in daily practice.
One of the main priorities in the Dutch programme is the focus on quality. Quality assessments will likely involve labor intensive processes that are bound to further increase the workload of academic experts. And even when quality is the focus, metrics that give an insight in the way in which researchers contribute to the various dimensions of an assessment framework will remain relevant. For example, in the radar chart used in communications about balancing the recognition/awards system in The Netherlands, putting data points for contributions to research, education, impact and leadership will require collecting data and deriving metrics from that data.
