New expectations on DORA signatories from now on 👇

"1) to make a public statement explaining their commitment to DORA;
2) research-performing organizations to ensure their implementation of DORA is informed by ongoing dialogue with staff and students who are involved in research and research-enabling activities.

The policy also states the action that DORA will take should credible reports be received of a signatory organization not living up to these expectations."

@lizziegadd happy to notice my university is ahead of the curve on this: we host a symposium for our own community in two weeks, precisely to go forward with the reform in researcher assessment via dialogue and mutual learning ( featuring e.g. @cameronneylon )

@lizziegadd I wish this would come with

3) Organisational newsletters to stop highlighting ranking lists.

Seen this at Delft and CESEAR this week alone..

@toothFAIRy Well DORA is a “full-throated” supporter of the INORMS More Than Our Rank initiative. The next best thing? https://inorms.net/more-than-our-rank/
More Than Our Rank | INORMS

The More Than Our Rank Initiative provides an opportunity for academic institutions to highlight the many and various ways they serve the world that are not reflected in their ranking position.

@lizziegadd I'm going to make a note that I need to link to this when I write my email to the Delft communication team!
