Responsible research assessment
Responsible metrics is short-hand for ‘the responsible use of metrics in academic assessment.’ It forms part of the wider responsible research assessment movement, which seeks to ensure that everyone’s contribution to the research endeavour is recognised, appreciated and assessed fairly.
We are committed to bringing about change to ensure metrics are used responsibly: we are a signatory to the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA). Recognising the importance of this agenda and the considerable sector-wide initiatives requires we have an active Responsible Metrics Champions Group with representation across disciplines, career stages and professional services divisions.
