Research assessment

Inclusion rationale
Independent scientific advice substantively addresses responsible AI uptake in science, research infrastructure, data and models, funding, researcher skills and research assessment.
Researcher notes
Corrected first edition published on 21 June 2024, retaining the original opinion's printed issue date of 27 March. The official cover/imprint explicitly labels the correction. A researcher comparison against two preserved original academy copies found non-whitespace changes on 22 corresponding PDF pages, including wording changes on pp.13,27,34; this is not a publisher correction schedule and does not establish the reason for each edit. The analytical revises relationship records that comparison. The opinion is non-binding independent advice, not an adopted Commission strategy. DG RTD support and Publications Office publication are distinct from GCSA authorship. SAPEA Evidence Review Report No. 13 supports this opinion but is a separate work, not its original edition or an official correction notice. Classification is an AI-assisted research assessment. Publication cutoff remains 2026-09-04.
