Elsevier has long supported the responsible use of metrics and indicators in the assessment of research. Elsevier established the International Center for the Study of Research (ICSR) to work in partnership with the research community to help develop own approach to research assessment. It’s vital that we work together to apply the same high standards of evidence to the evaluation of research as scientists apply in their own work.

To support these goals, Elsevier has signed the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA). The signing took place December 16, 2020 on the anniversary of the declaration.

Following today’s announcement, we will make reference lists for all articles published in Elsevier journals openly available via Crossref so they can be available for reuse. This means other important initiatives like I4OC can draw on this metadata.
