DORA Aims:

• eliminate the use of journal-based metrics, such as Journal Impact Factors, in funding, appointment, and promotion considerations
• assess research on its own merits rather than on the basis of the journal in which the research is published
• capitalize on the opportunities provided by online publication

Dora Goals:

• improve research by strengthening research assessment
• changes in academic culture to ensure that hiring, promotion, and funding decisions focus on the qualities of research that are most desirable – insight, impact, reliability and re-usability – rather than on questionable proxies
•  increase awareness of the need to develop credible alternatives to the inappropriate uses of metrics in research assessment: showcase the implementation of good practices and how policy changes have improved research assessment in hiring, promotion, and funding decisions
• research and promote tools and processes that facilitate best practice in research assessment
