DECLARATION ON RESEARCH ASSESSMENT (DORA)

Ramya Publication has signed the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), and Pedagogy Insights follows the principles of responsible research assessment promoted by DORA.

What is DORA?

DORA is an international initiative that promotes improving the way research outputs and researchers are evaluated. It encourages institutions and publishers to assess research based on the quality, significance, and broader impact of the work, rather than relying primarily on journal-based metrics.

Benefits of following DORA principles:

• Promotes fair and responsible research assessment.
• Encourages evaluation based on the quality and impact of individual research outputs.
• Reduces excessive reliance on journal-level metrics when assessing research.
• Supports recognition of a broader range of research contributions and outputs.
• Demonstrates a commitment to responsible research assessment (RRA) and good scholarly practices.
