Advancing coordinated reform in publishing and research assessment | DORA

"On 14 November 2025, representatives from several organizations across the publishing reform and research assessment reform communities gathered in Pisa, Italy, for a workshop aimed at identifying and advancing joint actions to strengthen both movements. Co-hosted by ASAPbio, Leiden University’s Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS), DORA, and the International Science Council (ISC), the meeting marked an important step in building momentum toward a more coordinated and impactful approach to reform across research assessment and publishing. The organisers share the view that meaningful progress in publishing and research assessment depends on deeper collaboration between reform initiatives and, where possible, alignment of their agendas."
