IOP Publishing (IOPP) has signed the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) as part of its commitment to support more equitable, inclusive approaches to research evaluation in line with open science practices.
DORA was developed in 2012 during the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology in San Francisco. Its principles highlight a need to assess research on its own merit by seeking to ensure that the quality and impact are ‘measured accurately and evaluated wisely’.
As a signatory of DORA, IOPP commits to display a wider range of metrics, improve diversity and inclusivity, recognise author contributions, provide unrestricted access to citation metadata, and review reference list constraints.
IOPP can play an important role in the way that research quality is understood and how researchers are recognised for their scientific contributions.
