International Community Convenes In Pisa To Advance Coordinated Reform In Publishing And Research Assessment – ASAPbio On 14 November 2025, representatives from several organisations across the publishing reform and research assessment reform communities gathered in Pisa,

On 14 November, leaders from across the global research ecosystem gathered for a workshop co-organized by ASAPbio, @cwtsnl.bsky.social, @dorassessment.bsky.social, and the @sciencecouncil.bsky.social, to advance aligned strategies for reforming publishing and research assessment.

A change to the ORCID record now recognizes Editorial Service and these varying responsibilities.

🗣️ New ORCID Feature for Journal Editors: Editorial Service

This new activity allows publishers, including journals or other research publication organizations, to add #TrustMarkers to #ORCID records via the validated #EditorialService data. More on the blog: https://wp.me/pcE4o3-9kO

Science Europe was pleased to contribute to the high-level conference on reforming research assessment on 3-4 Dec in Copenhagen. 🇩🇰

From CoARA progress to drivers of change in the R&I ecosystem, our speakers highlighted collaboration, evidence-based action, and inclusive reform.

#CeRRA2025

RoRI joined colleagues in Pisa to explore stronger coordination across publishing and research assessment reform: www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/news/2025...

We should say - our SC is *also* composed of researchers - we are delighted to have also publishers, funders, and broad representation of the research system. We are non-prescriptive and hope to empower the community for change. Happy to hear what you feel is missing in our engagement!

Jennifer, thanks for the question! Our Steering Committee is composed of researchers, and we just had a call - sorry you didn't see you could join us in shaping this! We are a community owned initiative, and for us reform is enacted by the everyday choices of researchers, librarians, managers, all!

In the context of #CeRRA2025 and @coarassessment.bsky.social 3rd anniversay, we are delighted to publish a joint statement on how we partner for #ResearchAssessment change! Our growing community shows the vibrancy and momentum for reform.

Blast from DORA’s past! Reminder from @jameswilsdon.bsky.social that he and @ismaelrafols.bsky.social were the first to bring @dorassessment.bsky.social to a global audience in @theguardian.com a few hours after the Declaration went public back in 2013 #CeRRA2025 www.theguardian.com/science/poli...

"I started laughing immediately!", "It's so practical!", "There's both metric and imperial systems". We are so happy people got the joke and had fun unboxing their bag goodie! 🤩
Join us in increasing awareness of negative impacts of inappropriate metrics and spread alternative practices! #CeRRA2025

A ten-year drive to credit authors for their work — and why there’s still more to do Information about the roles of each author of a paper can help to build trust, integrity and responsible research assessment. Coordinated efforts are needed to consolidate progress.

10 years since CRediT was introduced, >20% adoption (of full text in Dimensions). Now, we need to build on this to comprehensively integrate CRediT in metadata and make sure the taxonomy evolves to remain fit for purpose. doi.org/10.1038/d415...

Attending to #ImpactIgnite2025 ? Come have a chat about the connections between #ResearchImpact and #ResearchAssessment ! Thank you to @researchimpactacademy.com for hosting us for the next couple of days in Southampton, UK.

Can we scale experiments and pilots in research assessment? Enrique recognizes that absolutely, and Anna recognizes that part of the scaling efforts is about listening to what others are doing, and checking if it's right for your fit for your organization.

Are you eligible to apply? You can check at the website ma3challenge.org and the ORCA team is ready to help you! All four goals of the Challenge must be met to win! Beyond discussion, into implementation - if you are ready for action in #ResearchAssessment out of the U.S., this might be for you.

What's the number one thing that will move the needle? Tenure and promotion! Caitlin Schleicher from @orca-open.bsky.social shares about the funding opportunity at ma3challenge.org. But before: recognizing that reform faces many challenges through a personal anecdote!

Professional development can be a tool for culture change! Anna Hatch shares about the #5 action, the transparent and open peer review professional skills development programme that trains ECRs to openly review preprints: learning and doing peer review.

Anna Hatch is next, sharing a series of actions from @hhmi.org to shift academic incentives! What innovations in responsible research assessment you think can be relevant to your institutions?

Anonymization helps mitigate bias when hiring for academic positions: templates where shared with candidates to help them submit through this experiment done in the Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry. A drastic change to the applicant pool was observed.

What we perceive as excellence? Enrique De La Cruz shares his innovations when chairing his Department at Yale - a change to the hiring practices that had been done for 25 years.

@rnls.bsky.social is kicking us off! Why is #ResearchAssessment so important?
