Credit, recognition, and reward for non-traditional research artefacts
in the Life Sciences
Publication metrics remain the primary academic performance assessment in modern academia, leaving a gap in recognition for impactful non-traditional research artefacts such as curated datasets, research software, and training materials. Through a mapping of valuable non-traditional artefacts illustrated by Life Science examples from ELIXIR Europe, this paper examines the technical solutions and sociological barriers to credit, recognition, and reward — the landscaping this registry hosts as versioned, machine-readable data.
