Is progress living up to your #ResearchCulture expectations?

It’s been an honour to hold the pen in the co-creation of the Agreement on Reforming #ResearchAssessment with @ScienceEurope @euatweets @EUScienceInnov - Thanks to the many contributors for their invaluable inputs - Looking forward to the next steps (now the real work begins!)

On my motivations to support #Reform: "This is an opportunity, not just to change assessment, but to really think about how we can rethink assessment practices so that they have a positive impact on all those other areas that they link to" https://t.co/tatMK2PCgg

Don't miss the final blog in our #ResearchAssessment series by @HilaryNoone @UKRI_news - "Our work on narrative CVs will accelerate culture change by enabling a more efficient, cohesive and comprehensive approach to shifting what is visible and valued" #ResearchCulture

[MetisTalk @MetisTalk]

In the final blog of our #ResearchAssessment series, @HilaryNoone @UKRI_News talks about 'Shifting what’s visible and valued in research and innovation', reflecting on the adoption of narrative CV formats #RecogRewards #ResearchCulture👇 https://t.co/jtWt12eMqY

[MetisTalk @MetisTalk]

There is huge momentum for #ResearchAssessmentReform - our mini-series on research assessment captures some of the work that is underway

[MetisTalk @MetisTalk]

Next in our #ResearchAssessment series, we caught up with @GemmaDerrick to talk about the @HiddenREF's new approach to assessment - 'Turning assessment into celebration' #HiddenREF #RecogRewards #ResearchCulture 👇https://t.co/qCvmVQTG9P

[Dr Karen Stroobants @KarenStroobants]

Do you know what the #HiddenREF is? - Read our next blog in the #ResearchAssessment series - "We set out to show that it’s possible to assess a broader range of contributions, so it's great to see those behind other assessment mechanisms getting in touch with us for advice."

[Ben Bleasdale @Ben_Bleasdale]

🎩 #ResearchCulture hat on:

Today's coffee break read comes from @GemmaDerrick, one of the driving forces behind @HiddenRef. From first-hand experience as one of the judges, this project is a game-changer. Find out why in Gemma's article 👇

[RadNetCRUKGlasgow @RadNetCRUKGla]

A nice short read about the Hidden Ref and it's positive effect on #researchculture

[Dr Elizabeth Gadd @lizziegadd.bsky.social @LizzieGadd]

So much excellent food for thought here. “One element that often still is missing from the debate altogether is whether and how assessment should evaluate alignment with values, competency to perform the respective role, and adherence to professional standards”.

[Ben Bleasdale @Ben_Bleasdale]

🎩 #ResearchCulture hat on:

Keep tabs on this @MetisTalk thread for more thoughts on rethinking #ResearchAssessment, with a series of articles over the coming days.

First up - our very own @KarenStroobants urges the sector to look beyond outputs and lists 👇

.@MetisTalk's @KarenStroobants hopes research assessment reform will change our expectations, shifting the focus from 'most-published' to 'most useful to society' #ResearchAssessment #ResearchCulture
