I also made suggestions for concrete actions that I believe universities should take:

1. Join @INORMS_REG #MoreThanOurRank initiative https://inorms.net/more-than-our-rank/. @lizziegadd

2. Join @coarassessment and implement commitment 4 (avoid use of rankings in research assessment) https://coara.eu/agreement/the-commitments/.

3. Make data provided to university rankings openly available.

4. Request publishers to make all metadata of publications openly available through @crossref. @MsPhelps

@OpenAlex
Exciting news for all academic institutions and researchers out there! The #CWTSLeidenRanking has just been issued for this year. Given the strong commitment of @cwts to #INFORMS #MoreThanOurRank initiative, the #ranking is moving towards full transparency and open data sources. More about the features and plans here https://leidenmadtrics.nl/articles/the-cwts-leiden-ranking-2023 #ResearchImpact #AcademicExcellence #HigherEducation

@INORMS_REG @cwts @lizziegadd

Many thanks to the #MoreThanOurRank team for the important work they're doing, and also for having me as a speaker in last Monday's community call.

The slides of my talk are available in Zenodo https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7838904.

A recording is available at https://inorms.net/more-than-our-rank-community-calls/.

Let's all give our support to #MoreThanOurRank!

The @INORMS_REG #MoreThanOurRank 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.

I look forward to Monday's #MoreThanOurRank community call, in which I will explain why @cwts supports this important initiative.

Register now at https://inorms.net/more-than-our-rank-community-calls/.

Why does @cwts support the @INORMS_REG #MoreThanOurRank initiative?

I will talk about this in the INORMS More Than Our Rank community call on April 17.

In the same event Leslie Chan will give a keynote about 'The hidden costs of rankings'. Highly recommended!

Register now to attend this event https://inorms.net/more-than-our-rank-community-calls/.

Why is a ranking supporting the #MoreThanOurRank initiative?

Come along to our 17 April Community Call to hear @LudoWaltman explain!

INORMS Research Evaluation Group invites you to join our #MoreThanOurRank Community Calls: https://inorms.net/more-than-our-rank-community-calls

We organise two calls, March 24 and April 17, 2023, in different time zones to ensure opportunities for community participation worldwide.

#MTOR is a response to some of the problematic effects of the global university rankings. By participating academic institutions show commitment to responsible assessment and acknowledge a broad and diverse definition of institutional success.

#introduction: The INORMS Research Evaluation Group #INORMS_REG members are representing #ResearchManagementAssociations #RMA from across the globe. Our focus is #ResponsibleResearchEvaluation.

The latest #INORMS_REG initiatives are #SCOPE: A step-by-step guide for evaluating research responsibly, and #MoreThanOurRank #MTOR: A response to some of the problematic effects of the #GlobalUniversityRankings.

#INORMS_REG is chaired by @lizziegadd We also have a website https://inorms.net/research-evaluation-group/

@lizmorrish @jameswilsdon @StephenCurry Thank you so much for this vote of confidence, Liz. In case it’s not too late to tweak the blog post, the INORMS hashtag is #MoreThanOurRank 😊 Happy New Year, Liz.

Have we followed politics and become a lying culture in #HigherEducation? There have been few consequences for episodes of data falsification or managers infringing academic freedom. Obsession with rankings and competition results in research misconduct. Can we find optimism in pushback from @lizziegadd @jameswilsdon and @StephenCurry in responsible use of research metrics and #MoreThanOurRank ?

The INORMS #MoreThanOurRank initiative is so enormously proud of our first early adopters. See who they are: https://inorms.net/more-than-our-rank/
