Manuel Célio joins WP1 coordinating committee

---

Manuel Célio, a researcher at CIAC, has accepted the invitation, on behalf of CIAC, to join the coordination committee of the national project of COARA – Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment.

Manuel will now share responsibility for WP1 – Mapping and disseminating best practices on research assessment with representatives from the University of Aveiro and Lisbon. 

The Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) is a collective of organisations committed to reforming the methods and processes by which research, researchers and research organisations are assessed. Current research assessment methods rely heavily on publication-based metrics, such as citation counts, and often fail to recognise the wide range of contributions made by researchers.

CoARA’s vision is to recognise the diverse results, practices and activities that maximise the quality and impact of research through an emphasis on the qualitative appreciation of evaluation, for which peer review is essential, supported by the responsible use of quantitative indicators.
