[Geo4All] Research Assessment in the Digital Environment

[Suchith Anand]

Dear colleagues,

 
This might be of interest esp. for colleagues working in planning university strategy for REF 2029, so please feel free to share this information.

 
The Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) is a collective of organisations committed to reforming the methods and processes by which research, researchers, and research organisations are evaluated. Current research assessment methods rely heavily on publication-based metrics such as citation counts, and often fail to recognise the wide array of contributions made by researchers.

Over 700 research organisations, funders, assessment authorities, professional societies, and their associations have agreed on a common direction and guiding principles to implement reform in the assessment of research, researchers, and research organisations, outlined in the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment published in July 2022 which provides an outline for reform and implementation.

The Research Assessment for Ethics, Data and AI Discussion Series, presented by the Ethical Data Initiative, CoARA-ERIP, International Science Council's CODATA IDPC, and the EOSC-Future-RDA Artificial Intelligence and Data Visitation Working Group, is a pioneering platform for advancing discussions on the need for reform of research assessment practices and fostering critical dialogue within the academic and research community and beyond. This collaborative effort brings together leading experts, scholars, and practitioners through a series of engaging discussions and interactive sessions to empower stakeholders with the knowledge and tools to navigate the challenges of research assessment in the digital age.

 
We would like to invite you to the first webinar on Research Assessment in the Digital Environment on Wednesday 26 February 2025; 11:00 to 12:00 noon UTC
