This article focuses on Open Access and Research Evaluation, and the experience by the Italian National Agency for the Evaluation of Universities and Research Institutes (ANVUR). It is an updated version of the work presented at the Workshop "Open Science: new models of scientific communication and research evaluation", organized by Virginia Valzano at the University of Salento, on January 30, 2019.

The principle of Open Access (OA) is about the breaking of any paywall to the knowledge coming from research funded by public monies. After twenty years of statements not much has changed and the market of scientific journals is still in the hands of oligopolistic companies. Plan S is a disruptive initiative created by research funders in Europe and US which aims to foster the transition to Open Access by acting against hybrid journals and citation index. The Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) has signed Plan S and, in close relationship with the Universities, the Conference of Rectors (CRUI), and the National Research Council (CNR), is outreaching the academic communities to discuss strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. In this work both a description of Plan S and a brief status report of other initiatives are given.

This article covers considerations formulated some years ago, following the process of evaluating the quality of research in the area of architecture, drawing attention to two issues. The first is that of conformism (or "increasingly similar research"). The second is that of reconfiguring new or renewed relationships between academic critical reflection and professional and design practice. Both issues are relevant in the field of architecture .

My focus is on the (difficult) balance between the necessity of quickly and widely spreading the results of the scientific research and the importance of evaluating the quality of the research itself.

Starting from the examination of the regulations and the various documents that have established, guided and informed the Evaluation of Research Quality (VQR) actions in Italy from 2004 to 2014, we want to provide an argumentative comparison field to the possibility of evaluating Drawing as a research product, to try to understand what could be the characteristics and the assumptions that can be viable in order to see it as an essential quality as process of control and elaboration of the conceptual reflections inherent architecture and the city.

On 30 January 2019 the Workshop "Open Science: new models of scientific communication and research evaluation” was held in Cavallino (Lecce, Italy). The Workshop was organized by Virginia Valzano (director of CEIT), in collaboration with the University of Salento and other Institutions. Political and academic authorities, professors, researchers, students and librarians attended the Workshop. The event gave us the opportunity to be informed in-depth of the state of the art of Open Science, at national and international level, the role of various Institutions and on the issues related to scientific communication and research evaluation.

Focuses of this article are Open Access and Evaluation. These two topics seem to be against each other or, at best, disagree. We'll try to prove that open access and research evaluation are destined to a close collaboration.

The paper illustrates the objectives and the on-going activities of the Italian Open Science Support Group (IOSSG) whose main goal is to promote the development and the dissemination of Open Science in Italy. It provides support and practical tools to researchers in the different steps of research process with reference to data collection, management, legal protection, access, archiving, preservation within the frame of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) initiative.

The aim of this contribution is to investigate how open science can influence/support research evaluation and whether and how open science practice can be evaluated in its effort to avoid what is predicted by Goodhart's law (When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure). The enterprise is not simple, as it focus on giving up points of reference that have been part of common practice of hard sciences for years while we are now trying to implement them in humanities and social sciences. We must accept that the internet has changed the way science is produced, disseminated, validated and evaluated and has multiplied its channels of communication. For this reason the traditional bibliometric indicators, which refer to articles published in peer reviewed journals, preferably in English, as the only viable publication channel, become inapplicable. In an open environment, the role of peer review, in particular the idea of blind (single or double) peer review must also radically change.
