Responsible Use of Metrics

As a signatory of the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), the University of Zurich explicitly promotes a comprehensive view on evaluating researchers without using journal-based metrics, such as Journal Impact Factors.

The University of Zurich is involved in projects dealing with the responsible use of metrics in research and the integration of open science practices in the evaluation of scientific achievements and research proposals:

  • SRM-RM: Swiss Research Monitoring and the Responsible Use of Metrics
  • Recognise ORD (recORD)
