Call for Statements on Responsible Research Assessment

  • 1.  Call for Statements on Responsible Research Assessment

    **Apologies for cross-posting**
    Hi ResMet Group!
    The LIS-Bibliometrics community keeps a list on universities'/institutions' statements on responsible research assessment and/or responsible use of research metrics. That list can be found here: https://thebibliomagician.wordpress.com/statements-of-responsible-metrics-2/ 
    Mostly, it includes statements from universities in the UK. I'm happy to always add more from the UK, but it would also be nice to get some statements from outside the UK, so I thought I would share the call for more responsible research assessment statements to this list as well. If you have a statement or policy, please share it with me, and I'll be sure to post it to our list on the Bibliomagician. It's also a useful list for coming up with your own statement or policy! Feel free to use it. 
    Sincerely,
    Rachel
