- **Event Description**: Are we measuring the right things in the social sciences? Debating transparency, equity, access, and prestigeAbout this EventMeasuring the visibility of research has become an important part of how we determine its quality, with implications for funding and promotions for scholars. Established practices for assessing research quality are both quantitative (e.g., citation numbers, journal impact factors, journal quartiles, h-indexes) and qualitative (e.g., lists or prestige journals). While some fields maintain such established practices, their value and integrity has been challenged by initiatives such as the DORA declaration on responsible evaluation and the rise of alternative metrics, or ‘altmetrics.’ Open research practices are also being incorporated into research evaluation, with new metrics such as PLoS’s Open Science indicators. This event will combine the concerns of open research and research evaluation to ask what we should measure in the social sciences, and how such measurement could contribute to a more open research culture.The event will take place in the Marshall Building at LSE, in room MAR 2.06.A light lunch will be provided.Panel members:Professor Liz Stokoe (chair), Professor in the Department of Psychology and Behavioural Science, and Academic Director of Impact, LSE.Professor Bryan Roberts, Professor of Philosophy of Science, Department of Philosophy Logic and Scientific Method, LSE.Dr Audrey Alejandro, Associate Professor of Qualitative Text Analysis, Department of Methodology, LSE.Dr Lizzie Gadd, Head of Research and Innovation Culture and Assessment, Loughborough University.
