Please join the Library Publishing Coalition and DORA for a webinar on Tuesday, December 1, at 2pm ET.
How we evaluate research influences what scientists prioritize, but how scholarly communication is structured shapes what evaluators can actually see, recognize, and reward. From persistent identifiers and metadata to open peer review and diversifying research outputs, scholarly communication actors play a critical role in implementing and enabling research assessment reform. Realigning academic incentives around quality, openness, rigor, and societal impact requires coordinated action across editors, publishers, funders, repositories, research institutions, and infrastructure providers. Join us to explore how actors across the scholarly communication ecosystem can turn responsible research assessment principles into concrete, everyday practices.
DORA is developing a new resource, A Practical Guide to Implementing Responsible Research Assessment in Scholarly Communication (working title). Building on DORA’s existing Practical Guides for research performing and funding organizations, this Guide aims to support editors, publishers, journals, repositories, scholarly communication service providers, metadata organizations, and research infrastructures in translating responsible research assessment principles into action.
The DORA team will present about their work on the new guide and invite input from the library publishing community. We are seeking direct input from library publishers, university presses, repository managers, scholarly communication librarians and beyond! Come share your experiences on modernizing research assessment, examples of resources and initiatives that are helpful, and challenges you face. The webinar is free and open to the public, and will be recorded.
