Why generic indicators for research culture don’t work - Research on Research

"While research culture and environment have long been priorities for research funders and policymakers, they remain among the most complex and contested areas of science policy. As global initiatives like CoARA and DORA accelerate the reform of research assessment, debate continues over whether (and how) indicators can be used to monitor these shifts.

A new RoRI Working Paper led by Cameron Neylon examines the feasibility of defining and tracking indicators for research culture and environment. The study is part of RoRI’s AGORRA (A Global Observatory of Responsible Research Assessment) project, which aims to accelerate the move toward more sophisticated, responsible research assessment."
