Genesis Publishing Consortium Limited Signs the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA)

Maryland, USA – [05 April 2025] – Genesis Publishing Consortium Limited (GPCL) proudly announces its commitment to responsible research evaluation by signing the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA). This milestone marks a significant step towards promoting fair and transparent research assessment practices within the global academic publishing community.

DORA, established in 2012 by a group of editors and publishers at the American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) meeting in San Francisco, advocates for improvements in how scholarly research is assessed. By endorsing DORA, GPCL reaffirms its dedication to evaluating research based on its intrinsic quality and impact rather than relying solely on journal-based metrics such as the Journal Impact Factor (JIF).

“We are honored to align with DORA’s principles and contribute to the advancement of a more equitable research ecosystem,” said Dr. Abu Hena Mustafa Kamal, Chief Executive Officer of GPCL. “At Genesis Publishing Consortium Limited, we believe that scholarly contributions should be assessed on their merit, originality, and relevance rather than where they are published.”

By signing DORA, GPCL commits to implementing best practices in research evaluation, including:

– Recognizing the value of diverse research outputs, including datasets, software, and non-traditional publications.

– Encouraging institutions, funding agencies, and researchers to use a broader set of metrics for assessing scientific contributions.

– Promoting transparency in research assessment criteria.

This decision aligns with GPCL’s ongoing efforts to uphold ethical publishing standards, foster innovation, and support researchers worldwide. As an academic publisher, GPCL continues to champion policies that empower the global research community and ensure that scholarly work is recognized for its true impact.
