My 2012 blogpost, Sick of Impact Factors, remains on of the most ‘popular’ that I have ever written. DORA has been really helpful in re-focusing the conversation on how the scientific community does research assessment.
Its aim is to improve the way in which the quality of research output is evaluated, with a key recommendation being the elimination of journal-based metrics by funding agencies, institutions and publishers when judging research and researchers.We know that to change practice we need to figure out practical ways to help busy reviewers sift through job and grant applications and CVs without falling back on mis-use of the JIF.
