The San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment

The San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) is a global movement advocating for fairer evaluation of scientific research. It emphasizes that assessing research quality should go beyond simple metrics like journal impact factors or citation counts. Instead, it encourages considering the actual content, impact, and significance of individual studies and researchers' contributions. DORA aims to promote a more comprehensive and equitable approach to recognizing research excellence, ultimately enhancing the integrity and societal relevance of scientific work.
