Dimensions of Responsible Research Assessment (full report and summary)

Abstract:  In support of a better, healthier research culture that promotes rigorous research undertaken to the highest standards, the Global Research Council's Responsible Research Assessment (RRA) working group has developed a new framework: the Dimensions of Responsible Research Assessment. This new report was launched at the GRC Annual Meeting in May 2024.

The set of 11 dimensions have been established to articulate funders’ vision of RRA and to frame future discussions. This can be used by funding agencies to understand how to embed principles of responsible research assessment and assessment reform.

We acknowledge all members of the GRC RRA working group and past members. We acknowledge the support from the GRC Executive Support Group, Governing Board and all GRC participant organisations.
