- Societal and environmental challenges are shifting the conception about how science is performed and how research is assessed. Globally, initiatives such as Open Science, Responsible Research and Innovation, San Francisco Declaration, and CESAER/EU are expanding the reflection about the responsible use of indicators. However, research assessment is still based mainly on indicators with several limitations, and new models are needed. Our first objective is to share an initiative started within the Latin-American community to develop a roadmap for a more encompassing, socially, and environmentally relevant agenda for scientometrics and the responsible use of indicators. A Do-a-thon approach was adopted, starting with a survey as the basis for subsequent discussions to be conducted in September as part of Latmétricas 2021. Our second objective is to share this initiative with a wider community to collaboratively explore relevant and useful indicators to assess scientific activities, reward researchers, and support policy decisions. Two main areas are identified by the Latin American community of scientometrics as key to open up the research agenda of scientometrics. Analysis of local knowledge production and Social impact of science. These areas were further elaborated during Latmetricas 2021. Results will help us in developing a Wiki to promote and develop further these avenues of research with the global community.
