AAU Forsknings og Innovationsindikator: Til fremme af AAU’s Videnskabelige Publicering og Impact, Samarbejde, Synlighed og Åbenhed

International trends in research evaluation are increasingly addressing the need for an alternative/supplement to the conventional bibliometric research indicators such as Journal Impact Factor (JIF) and H-index, while pointing to the importance of making research assessments based on other more qualitative parameters such as openness to research results, visibility, and publication diversity. As one of the goals of the new indicator is precisely that it should be internationally recognizable and recognized , the committee has had the ambition to include some of these new parameters and develop concrete, qualitative indicators to the AAU Research and Innovation Indicator. Significant documents in this context are the San Francisco Declaration on Research Asse ssment (DORA) from 2012 and the European Union's most recent
document on research evaluation from July 2022 Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment
(CoARA).
