Lutz Bornmann asks a deceptively simple question: should research organizations sign #DORA, #CoARA, and similar initiatives if signing alone doesn't guarantee better research assessment? :doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joi.2026.101872 His key message is worth repeating: reform is not about replacing "bad metrics" with "good peer review." We need disciplinary sensitivity, professional evaluative bibliometrics, and, crucially, evaluation of the evaluation itself. #Bibliometrics #Scientometrics #OpenScience
