Six senior academics argue that high-level promises regarding research metrics are insufficient for academic renewal. They emphasize that real change requires pressure from within the sector and accountability from leadership. The experts urge senior faculty to use their influence to ensure institutions, funders, and publishers translate pledges into tangible actions.

Key points

  • Academic improvement requires both internal pressure and external responsibility.
  • Mere declarations about not misusing research metrics are inadequate for systemic change.
  • Senior academics must actively use their influence to drive concrete action across the sector.
  • Institutions, funding bodies, and publishers need to operationalize their commitments into measurable actions.
