Summary
A global movement is underway to significantly enhance the evaluation process for researchers, research projects and research institutions.
The San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), the Leiden Manifesto, the Latin American Forum on Research Assessment (FOLEC-CLACSO), and the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment and the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) under Action 3 of the European Research Area Policy Agenda 2022-2024 are the main initiatives that strive to shift away from inappropriate reliance on metrics such as the Journal Impact Factor.
Instead, they acknowledge the diverse range of research practices, activities and outputs that go beyond publications.
They aim to reward practices, activities and outputs that contribute to a higher quality and impact of research, while also recognising and mitigating systemic biases, particularly gender biases, within traditional assessment metrics.
Detailed Call Description
The action aims to provide the evidence needed for the practical implementation of research assessment reforms. It will gather and evaluate existing evidence and carry out additional research activities to support the implementation of the commitments of the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment, in line with the 10 principles for reforms. The action consists of three parts, all of which must be addressed:
- Review existing literature, data and evidence on research assessment practices and evaluate their validity and robustness for implementing the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment.
- Identify gaps in knowledge and prioritise areas that require further research activities to support reforms of research assessment in line with the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment.
- Implement research activities in the prioritised areas.
The proposals should ensure synergies and complementarities, develop close cooperation, and share knowledge and evidence with CoARA and its Working Groups, the CoARA Boost project, DORA, and other relevant initiatives. The proposals should provide open access to all relevant results as early as possible, with specific efforts to ensure that these results are accessible and relevant to diverse and underrepresented groups.
This action may require the effective contribution of SSH disciplines and the involvement of SSH experts, institutions as well as the inclusion of relevant SSH expertise, in order to produce meaningful and significant effects enhancing the societal impact of the related research activities[3].
The duration of this action should not exceed 3 years.
