DORA is a global initiative that campaigns for and supports improving ways we assess research and researchers.
DORA started as the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment. The idea to write the declaration was developed in 2012 during at the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology in San Francisco. Since 2018, it has become a worldwide initiative covering all scholarly disciplines and all key actors in the global scholarly system including researchers, funders, publishers, academies and professional societies, and research performing institutions.
We encourage all individuals and organizations who are interested in developing and promoting best practice in the assessment of researchers and scholarly research to sign DORA and join the movement.
