"The risk of pitting us all against each other in some unholy research culture competition is that hyper-competition was always at the heart of so many of our unhelpful research cultures." - @lizziegadd in #WonkHE, on the increased weight given to #ResearchCulture in the UK's #REF28.

In response to the ones in favour of "objective numerical indicators" for #researchevaluation: run the same evaluation process twice, having switched bibliometric database first. 🤡 Surprise! #ReformingRA

Take-home messages from Karen Stroobants. #UKRIOevents #ResearchCulture #ResearchAssessment #ReformingRA

Competency-based assessment is underused in academia, notes Karen Stroobants. #UKRIOevents #ReformingRA #ResearchAssessment #ResearchCulture

Should how research is done by captured in quantitative metrics, asks Karen Stroobants?

She refers to @lizziegadd's blog post, https://thebibliomagician.wordpress.com/2018/08/21/measuring-openness-should-we-be-careful-what-we-wish-for/

#UKRIOevents #ReformingRA #ResearchAssessment

#ReformingRA has coalesced in Europe around @coarassessment notes Karen Stroobants. #UKRIOevents #ResearchAssessment

What advances a researcher's career isn't the same as what advances science.

Karen Stroobants refers to research by Noemie Aubert Bonn and Wim Pinxten:

#UKRIOevents #ReformingRA

Research assessment is key to #ResearchCulture, argues Karen Stroobants. A move from narrow definitions, metrics, and 'excellence' to qualitative assessment and a focus on 'how' vs 'what', is needed. #UKRIOevents #ReformingRA

Great to see that European Research Council #ERC signs Agreement on #ReformingRA and changes the evaluation criteria for 2024 calls 👏🏻

Applicants can now add information in a #NarrativeCV explaining unconventional career paths and contributions to scientific community. Past achievements will also matter less than the project proposal itself #CoARA #ResearchAssessment

Big news – the @ERC_Research Scientific Council has decided to sign the Agreemeent on Reforming Research Assessment #ReformingRA (see last paragraph)! An excellent further evidence of the great momentum that #CoARA is keeping up.

UNL (who’s not on Mastodon yet I believe) released the first edition of their e-zine on #Rewardsandrecognition or #ErkennenEnWaarderen.

You can read the magazine online here:

Will be of interest to anyone working on reforming research assessment #ReformingRA, narrative cv’s or if you want to see a picture of me and Spinoza. Yes you read that correctly.

Amazing to see so many organisations that have signed #CoARA already and such a broad movement! Exciting times ahead. #ReformingRA

The Council of national open science coordination welcomes the creation of COARA, the Coalition for advancing research assessment. This is a major step after the Open Science European Conference and the European Council Conclusions of research assessment and open science !
