Summary:
"Research Assessment Policy (With effect from 2021)
- We do not use journal-based metrics, such as Journal Impact Factors, as a surrogate measure of the quality of individual research articles, to assess an individual scientist’s contributions or in funding decisions.
- For the purposes of research assessment, we consider the value and impact of all research outputs (including datasets and software) and a broad range of impact measures.
- We make explicit the criteria used in evaluating the scientific productivity of grant applicants and we expect applicants, grantees, and reviewers to respond to these criteria accordingly.
- We expect Grantees that are research institutions to have a:
- statement of commitment to implementing the DORA principles on their website – this should be prominent and accessible
- plan for implementing the DORA principles, or a clear process in place for developing a plan (with a specified delivery date)
- process in place for monitoring and reporting on progress...."
