This is a very short post highlighting the purpose of the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), which is to "eliminate the use of journal-based metrics, such as Journal Impact Factors, in funding, appointment, and promotion considerations" and to "assess research on its own merits rather than on the basis of the journal in which the research is published." I am, needless to say, in favour.
