It emphasises the need to move away from quantitative metrics such as the journal impact factor and prioritise qualitative assessments instead. It refers to initiatives such as the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) and the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA), which are in favour of more diverse and transparent research assessment. The paper gives practical recommendations to Berlin research institutions on how to participate in CoARA and implement new assessment approaches to promote the recognition of diverse scientific achievements.
