Reformscape: working towards responsible assessment practices
DORA has launched Reformscape, in the framework of its Tools to Advance Research Assessment (TARA) project. This new tool provides an inventory of assessment initiatives implemented by research institutions around the world.
The aim of this new initiative is to create a reference tool for researchers to explore and hopefully be inspired by responsible research assessment practices. Reformscape was launched at the start of the year and features policies, action plans and other documents like principles originating from over a hundred research institutions worldwide combined with expert comment.
It was created in collaboration with members of the scientific community and is indeed intended for all members of this community. Searches can be run by country, scientific discipline, requirements (recruitment, promotion, etc.) and so forth.
