Declaración de San Francisco de Evaluación de la Investigación DORA. Poniendo ciencia en la evaluación de la investigación
Abstract
This text is the celebrated DORA Statement on Research Assessment signed in San Francisco, developed by a group of academic journal editors during the annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) in San Francisco, California, on December 16 2012. This group developed a series of recommendations, known as the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment. The DORA declaration, which calls for a series of fundamental changes in the way science and knowledge is evaluated and published, has been assumed and endorsed by the vast majority of open scientific publications, and a good part of the most prestigious journals from all areas of knowledge. It accuses the systems of evaluation and indexation of bias and distorsions due to commercial interest of a minority of actors, and therefore, of serious damage to the progress of research in all sectors. The Declaration recommends a series of actions to preserve the dissemination of the investigative progress keeping it away from interests and distortions that today threaten it.
