Brandon University has formally adopted the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), which commits the university to evaluating scholarly work using fair, transparent, and inclusive approaches. As a signatory, BrandonU will take several steps to improve fairness in evaluating scholarly work, including revising its internal research assessment policies and supporting researchers in documenting their contributions. “Whether it’s through traditional publications, community engagement, creative scholarship, or Indigenous research methodologies, our evaluation practices must reflect the breadth and depth of contributions our researchers make to knowledge and to society,” said BrandonU VP (Research & Graduate Studies) Dr Bernadette Ardelli.
