Editorial commentary
The Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) emerged from a 2021-2022 process led by the European Commission, Science Europe and the European University Association. Its founding Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment was published in July 2022 and the coalition was formally launched on 1 December 2022. Members commit to ten principles and to publishing an organisational action plan within twelve months of joining, with periodic progress reports. CoARA operates through a General Assembly, a Steering Board and a network of national chapters and Working Groups on topics such as narrative CVs, indicators for interdisciplinarity, and recognition of peer review.
