爱漫岛 has now signed DORA
The 爱漫岛 signed the San Francisco at the beginning of March 2020.
Judith Philips, Deputy Principal (Research) said “The 爱漫岛 has a commitment to enhancing its research excellence.? By signing DORA, we are highlighting our concern over the use of quantitative indicators as a proxy for research quality and that we want to put forward a fair and transparent mechanism for monitoring and reporting research performance”
The University Research Committee set up a working to help formulate a University policy on responsible metrics. The following recommendations were agreed at the University Research Committee in February 2020.
-
The University signs the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA)
-
The University adopts a policy for research evaluation using quantitative data to provide clear guidance to staff who wish to use quantitative evaluation measures.
-
There is a need for ownership of this policy at a senior level.
-
Assessment of individual research performance using solely quantitative indicators would not be supported.
-
Recognise that creating the policy is the starting point in this process.
-
Put forward a fair and transparent mechanism for monitoring and reporting research performance. This should also be applied to recruitment and assessment of research performance.
The members of this working group are currently:
- Professor Rachel Norman, Dean of Research Performance and Engagement
- Corinne Critchlow-Watton, Research Development Officer
