On March 24, 2016, by Council of Ministers Resolution nº 21/2016, the Government of Portugal, through the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education (MCTES), announced scientific commitment to the principles and practices of Open Science. The same resolution mandated MCTES to create an Inter-ministerial Working Group with the mission of presenting a proposal for a Strategic Plan to implement a National Open Science Policy. The organization of the Working Group included four subgroups – Open Access and Open Data, Infrastructures and Digital Preservation, Scientific Evaluation, and Scientific Social Responsibility.
The objective of this work is to present the set of recommendations that the subgroup of Scientific Evaluation, in conjunction with the others, considers fundamental for implementation of Open Science practices, which is aimed at political agents as well as producing entities, evaluators, and scientific financiers.
