As science evolves, so must the systems that support it and evaluate it. Inspired by UNESCO's open science definition, this paper explores how funders and institutions can move beyond the traditional metrics to define scientific impact and to create a more inclusive, transparent and collaborative research ecosystem. We demonstrate through practical examples how the academic landscape is moving towards more openness as the new standard. We conclude with a discussion of challenges in implementing open science practices and recommendations for funders and institutions that will help to create a more unified framework of recognition and reward of scientific work.
