Open science, research assessment reform, and autonomy of research(ers). A critical discussion Di Donato, Francesca Ginevra Peruginelli, Sebastiano Faro Tommaso Agnoloni, Mimi Urbanc, Michael Ochsner Di Donato, Francesca open science, research autonomy, research assessment reform This contribution examines the critical interrelationships between open science, research autonomy, and the ongoing reform of research assessment . Adopting a philosophical-political perspective, it analyzes current pressures on scientific freedom, including geopolitical shifts, technological changes, and the dominance of private platforms over research data . The study questions who determines research value and how evaluation systems can act as instruments of power . It explores the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment (ARRA) and CoARA principles, which advocate for the direct involvement of scholars in defining qualitative criteria . To contextualize these issues, the paper revisits the 18th and 19th-century Prussian university theories of Immanuel Kant and Wilhelm von Humboldt . Kant's concept of "public reason" and Humboldt’s vision of open-ended science establish a paradigm where research is inherently collaborative and inclusive . Ultimately, this historical model offers a framework to address contemporary contradictions in the open science landscape. 2026 info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14243/579326 10.32091/RESSH2026 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/isbn/9788890576485 https://ressh2026.igsg.cnr.it/ eng ispartofbook:RESEARCH EVALUATION AND SCIENTIFIC AUTONOMY UNDER PRESSURE.
