Research assessment and attribution of credit
Trainer: Victoria Yan
Overview: EMBL supports fair and responsible research assessment practices, which include its recruitment and performance assessment processes. EMBL aims to follow best scientific practices, of which the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) is an important part. DORA implies measures and recommendations that are more apt in providing a fair and transparent assessment of research quality. EMBL’s DORA Working Group has developed guidelines for research assessment of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and researchers.

- Recognize the need to improve the ways in which researchers and research outputs are evaluated.
- Know about the main concepts of DORA.
