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.

A timely new commentary in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology raises an uncomfortable question:
Can anti-metric research assessment reforms backfire in weak academic systems?
:doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclinepi.2026.112430
Reducing metrics may work where institutions are strong. But in fragile systems, it may unintentionally increase the influence of favouritism, academic inbreeding, and opaque decision-making.

Open scholarly metadata is actually such a huge mess, especially for monographs, edited volumes, grey lit, i.e. anything that isn't an english STEM journal article.
Which actually explains so much about why the "metascience" scene is how it is....
