Just had a flick through the ‘Top 100 Scholars’ in the ScholarGPS citation rankings. Only one is female and she died in 2017. So before you promote your institution’s ‘Top Scholars’ stop and think whether being male and highly cited is really your definition of ‘top’. scholargps.com/highly-ranke...

What an incredible experience to finally meet so many of our Research Evaluation Group @inorms-reg.bsky.social colleagues in person at #INORMS2025 in Madrid! After years of mostly online collaboration, coming together-14 out of 19 of us-was both energizing and inspiring.

Thanks for some truly inspiring days at this year’s NARMA conference. I was honored to speak alongside Dr. Lizzie Gadd @lizziegadd.bsky.social at the session “Cultivating better research cultures through exploration, transformation & evaluation”. #ResearchCulture #RRA #SCOPEframework #NARMA2025

@tanjastrom.bsky.social knocking it out the park, describing the @inorms-reg.bsky.social #SCOPE framework at #NARMA2025 as a mechanism for assessing research culture.

INORMS Research Evaluation Group have developed the SCOPE framework, a practical tool for ensuring evaluations are fair and comprehensive. Plus, our "More Than Our Rank" initiative challenges the limitations of global university rankings. Dive in and join the conversation inorms.net/research-eva...

Science is in dire need of heroes! Because the science system needs to reform, Sarah de Rijcke says in this blog post.

Lizzy Gadd’s keynote at #STI2023: Narratives without evidence can quickly become a fiction. But indikators without narratives are only half the story.

Excited to coauthor this article introducing the SCOPE framework for responsible research assessment (RRA) and situates it within the sector-wide drive towards more meaningful and robust research evaluation practices. Available in preprint: f1000research.com/articles/12-...

Lizzy Gadd @LizzieGadd at this mornings keynote at #STI2023: Narratives without evidence can quickly become a fiction. But indikators without narratives are only half the story.

Responsible research assessment provides an opportunity to rebuild trust in evaluative approaches. Lizzy Gadd @LizzieGadd explored how we might achieve this with particular focus on INORMS SCOPE Framework for responsible research evaluation in this mornings keynote at #STI2023

The #SCOPE framework supports evaluators in any and every research setting to implement the many complementary principles of #RRA in the design and delivery of their evaluation approaches. In this way it bridges the gap between principles and practice. f1000research.com/articles/12-12…

Going through the #STI2023 "Event book", and trying to create a route for the conference. I look forward to inspiring lectures and discussions; and not least to meet old and new colleagues and friends from all over the world.

Thank you to the ENLIGHT EU-Network, @enlight_eu, for inviting me to keynote at today’s workshop. I shared how the SCOPE framework fits the range of responsible research assessment ideals, and how the tool help in planning and conducting research evaluations responsibly.

It was so fun 🤩 to be part of this team in the #openaccess escape room. We were distracted by a really annoying villain. But managed to solve the tasks 🔐and will be home before the weekend. 🏆 Thanks @katrinesundsbo 😁#EARMAconference

Very entertaining keynote this morning at #EARMAconference! Jo Røislien @joroislien told us «How to make numbers count”

Jeg håper vi snart ser noen gode eksempler i norsk UH-sektor som tar de internasjonale initiativene rundt forskningsevaluering på alvor. t.co/7sQwr70DHy

👇 «Offentlig sektor styres mer og mer gjennom ikke altfor godt gjennomtenkte kontrakter med snevre kriterier. Dermed fokuserer lederne på kontroll av fagpersoner og på det som telles, heller enn på kvalitet og kjernen i samfunnsoppdraget.» #oslomet aftenposten.no/meninger/debat…
