The Fourth Industrial Revolution The First Industrial Revolution used water and steam power to mechanize production. The Second used electric power to create mass production. The Third used electronics and information technology to automate production. Now a Fourth Industrial Revolution is building on the Third, the digital revolution that has been occurring since the middle of the last century. It is characterized by a fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres. The Fourth Industrial Revolution, Klaus Schwab https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/2015-12-12/fourth-industrial-revolution

Research - Our understanding of the context Sector priorities Jisc approach Financial sustainability – reducing costs, attracting investment, diversifying revenue to increase resilience Expertise needed / developed by sector (‘talent pipeline’) – skills and CPD, effect of digital on EDI, mobility across sectors / internationally, team research, positive research culture, and public engagement to inspire future researchers Performance – enabling excellent, cutting edge, pure and applied research and innovation that fully exploits the potential of digital technologies Integrity and ethics – making sure digital research is ethical (responsible research and innovation), has integrity (eg reproducibility), transparency (open research) and security (AAAI and cybersecurity) Knowledge exchange – digital technologies enabling research and innovation collaboration with business, civil society, culture, policy and society, etc, across all parts of the UK / regions. International – digital technologies enabling collaboration, providing a research environment that encourages investment and staff mobility, and that benefit from compatible regulation in the context of Brexit Organisational strategies – that support data-intensive research, and that themselves are data-informed, using indicators responsibly, being aware of the incentives they can create • Vision • “Research 4.0”: convergence of ubiquitous networks, big data, machine learning, IoT, robotics… • Will affect research, its organisation, and its relation with wider economy and society • Validation and engagement • Consultation and engagement with institutional leaders, professional support staff, researchers, funders… • Services • Research information and analytics • FAIR and open scholarship • Authentication and access • Network and cybersecurity • Cloud / data infrastructure
Forum for responsible metrics The Forum have a programme of activities, including: · Advice to the higher education funding bodies on quantitative indicators in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021 · Advice on, and work to improve, the data infrastructure that underpins metric use · Advocacy and leadership on the use of research metrics responsibly · International engagement on the use of metrics in research and researcher assessment
