ANECA adheres to DORA and CoARA

  • 03/04/2023

ANECA, a participant in the debates that have been developing in the European and global context on the need to reform research assessment models, has joined the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) and the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) with the conviction that we are at an optimal time to move towards a new culture of assessment of research activity in all its diversity.

In particular, ANECA joins DORA because it shares the need to address the quality assessment of scientific articles -and not only the journals in which they are published-, to consider the value and impact of all research outputs (including data and software) and to consider the societal impact of research from a broader perspective (including qualitative indicators, such as the influence on scientific policies and/or practices).

ANECA also joins CoARA committed to the recognition of the diversity of research practices and activities in the evaluation processes which, in addition, maximise their quality and impact and achieve a more efficient and inclusive system. To this end, it is committed to progressively move towards qualitative evaluation models, based on peer review, and with the support and responsible use of quantitative indicators.
