Fantastic & dynamic session on forgotten questions in research assessment reform at REvaluation 2024! - led by @karenstroobants.bsky.social, @lizziegadd.bsky.social & @naubertbonn.bsky.social

New Paper! “Understanding the social and political dimensions of research(er) assessment: evaluative flexibility and hidden criteria in promotion processes at research institutes”, just published in Research Evaluation by me, @naubertbonn.bsky.social & Serge Horbach. Thread below!

Should research assessment reform be ‘as aligned as possible, as diverse as needed’?

Read the last piece in this series developed in conversation with awesome women in research evaluation: @lizziegadd.bsky.social Noémie Aubert Bonn, Claire Fraser, Haley Hazlett & Anna Hatch.

At REvaluation 2024 in Vienna presenting Science Europe's Shared Values Framework as a means to help capture better 'how' research is done rather than only 'what' research is done as part of assessment processes. #CoARA. With @karenstroobants.bsky.social Noémie Aubert Bonn & Sean Sapcariu

Are we all metascientists now? Slides from my talk today at REvaluation 2024 www.revaluation2024.eu in Vienna rori.figshare.com/articles/pre... #REvaluation24 @rorinstitute.bsky.social #metascience

- for data & evidence gathering.
- to reflect, review progress, & progress together.

⏩MetaROR’s innovative Publish-Review-Curate model speeds up scholarly communication by flipping the traditional peer review process: publishing first and reviewing after.

MetaROR is designed to accelerate the communication of metaresearch. Find out more: metaror.org

Great to be in Bern for the SNSF event on Research-on-Research. Tomorrow, I will speak about the role of RoR towards & within international initiatives like CoARA - emphasising the importance of evidence & knowledge sharing to move our shared research system forwards. #RoR24
