Responsible Metrics
The University actively promotes the use of responsible metrics and is a signatory to DORA principles which set out to improve the ways in which researchers and their research outputs are evaluated.
- DORA Principles
-
-
Principle 1: Research outputs and other research contributions will be evaluated on their intrinsic merit, rather than relying on inappropriate proxies and metrics such as the title or impact factor of the journal in which the research was published.
- Principle 2: The quality of a researcher’s work will be evaluated in terms of a wide range of contributions beyond research publications, such as datasets, training of early-career researchers, and impacts on policy and practice.
