san fransisco declaration on research assessment (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.
