Research assessment shapes careers, funding, and institutional priorities, yet many systems remain opaque and exclusive. Relying on proprietary, black-box metrics, they fail to capture the full diversity of research contributions and global scholarship. To change this, the CoARA Working Group ‘’Towards Open Infrastructures for Responsible Research Assessment’’ (OI4RRA) has developed a framework that outlines how Open Infrastructures (OIs) can support a fair, transparent, and responsible approach to research assessment. Dive into details!
