• After signing DORA in 2018, Kings College London committed to producing “a comprehensive, organisation-wide policy on responsible assessment.”
• As part of this process, the University pledged to set up a working group on responsible research assessment.
• Duties of the committee include to “engage in community consultation, outreach and education, and pursue partnerships across existing initiatives at the College, including the King’s Open Research Group Initiative (KORGI), to develop open and transparent guidelines for assessment which also reward a commitment to open and reproducible research, across all disciplines and formats.” (Page 2)
• The committee will also monitor implementation of the proposed policy across the University when published.
