Following the Summer School, this year’s PUBMET2024 Conference will explore the core of open scholarly communication by focusing on the central theme of research assessment. We invite participants to examine the challenges ingrained in this process, including openness and transparency, bias mitigation, robustness, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency optimisation. Moreover, we aim to continue discussions on enhancing the peer review process, encompassing reviewer diversity, role clarification, capacity building, and technological advancements.
Ensuring integrity in assessment practices remains essential in this era of rapidly evolving research landscapes. PUBMET2024 seeks to address the ethical dimensions of research assessment, emphasising the recognition of diverse scientific outputs and advocating for the responsible utilisation of proxies and metrics. We recognise the value of content-based evaluation methodologies while supporting transformative initiatives that propel scholarly communication towards greater inclusivity and efficacy.

It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the passing of our dear colleague and friend, Dr. Sc. Vladimir Mrša, Professor Emeritus at the Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology at the University of Zagreb, and a long-time member of the Organising and Programme committees for PUBMET.
As a distinguished professor and a respected figure in the scientific community, Dr. Mrša made significant contributions as an outstanding scientist and an advocate of open science. Above all, he was a dear friend and colleague who mentored generations of young scientists and experts, helping them find their own way.
We are committed to honoring his legacy by striving for excellence in scientific research and continuing to promote open science, just as he believed in and supported us to do. He will always remain in our hearts.
