The Hong Kong Principles were developed at the 6th World Conference on Research Integrity (Hong Kong, 2019) and published in PLOS Biology in July 2020 (Moher et al.). They propose that researcher assessment should: (1) assess responsible research practices, (2) value complete reporting, (3) reward the practice of open science, (4) acknowledge a broad range of research activities such as peer review and mentoring, and (5) recognise other tasks including teaching and leadership. The Principles complement DORA and the Leiden Manifesto by focusing specifically on the link between assessment incentives and research integrity.
