The concept of responsible metrics is gaining traction globally through the spread of principles such as DORA and the Leiden Manifesto, and the introduction of responsible metrics mandates courtesy of Plan S. How are institutions responding to this agenda, and how can an institution not only adopt, but effectively implement a responsible metrics policy? What are the consequences if they don’t? This talk will address these questions, drawing on four years of data gathered by the presenter on institutional engagement with responsible metrics. It will conclude by considering the range of stakeholders that need to play a part in delivering ‘responsible metrics’ and how those parties might collaborate to achieve this.
