responsible use of research metrics (dora)

We are proud to be a signatory of the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA). DORA promotes the responsible use of research metrics, encouraging the assessment of research on its own merits, rather than relying on metrics such as the Journal Impact Factor.

A published statement of adoption of the best practices recommended in the spin-out review

Leeds Beckett University welcomes the publication of the Independent Review of University Spin-out Companies aimed at encouraging innovation and the growth of academic research into commercial prospects. Leeds Beckett University has fully adopted the best practice guidelines and recommendations appropriate to universities as laid out in the Review. We confirm that we will use the TENU University Spinout Investment Terms (USIT) Guides for software and non-software spin-outs as part of our adopted spin-out process as appropriate. Our university IP policy was updated in 2025 to ensure full alignment with the best practice recommendations.
