Following the consultation, the agreement was drafted by European University Association (EUA) and Science Europe representatives, as well as former chemistry researcher Karen Stroobants.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The key points of the research assessment reform draft, <a href=\"https:\/\/sciencebusiness.net\/news\/research-organisations-get-closer-consensus-assessment-reform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to Science\/Business<\/a>, entail 4 commitments: the recognition of diversity of research careers; qualitative peer-evaluation based assessment; refraining from \u201cinappropriate uses\u201d of publication metrics as well as refraining from relying on international rankings of research organisations in research assessment. This is to result in a widened scope of assessment, involving more than a restrictive set of qualitative metrics.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The consensus came soon after German Research Foundation (DFG) <a href=\"https:\/\/sciencebusiness.net\/news\/research-assessment-german-funder-raises-concerns-eu-reform-talks-come-close\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">expressed its disapproval towards the centralised nature of the proposed reforms in a position paper<\/a>, emphasising that reforms should stem from the institutions instead. However, after the drafting team stated that these concerns were properly addressed, and research ministers stood behind the Commission\u2019s adoption of this reform draft, it is likely that the reforms will be underway soon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The evaluation of research outputs within Europe may soon become simpler and more unified as the reform of research assessment &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":101,"featured_media":15273,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[9,140,5],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.6 -
