In the Dutch context the funding agencies and the research councils have also signed DORA.
Very recently (November 2029) a position paper was published that describes the operationalisation of DORA:

> The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) has signed DORA already in 2014.

>
> Being a SNSF research council myself for the area of design and arts based research, I can say that DORA is especially helpful for researchers with a practical background and/or a practice based research profile.
>
> On the one hand, DORA enables researchers to better present their specific achievements and encourages reviewers on the other hand to look beyond quantative measurement criteria to the content of research. This in turn is helpful for tracking down innovative approaches that might fall outside the academic norms and measurement criteria.

> I am happy to share my experience with DORA in more detail, if wished.

> "DORA is a global initiative to support the development and promotion of best practice in assessment of scholarly research. It aims to address the negative consequences of unintended overuse of journal publication as a primary indicator of quality for research output. To date, 1,557 organizations and 15,006 individuals are signatories to DORA. These include funders, publishers, professional societies, institutions and researchers."

> "The quality and impact of research cannot be measured through journal publications alone. Research results and outcomes are multifaceted, can reflect multiple types of knowledge and ways of knowing and must be assessed on their own merit. High-quality research outcomes are achieved in many ways, including but not limited to: publishing research articles; reporting new knowledge (such as presenting at conferences and other venues); developing new technologies, producing software and intellectual property; sharing data; contributing to policy decisions; producing highly trained personnel and working in partnership with various sectors of society. Increasingly, funding agencies, research institutions, First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities, citizens and patients, and researchers themselves, agree on the importance of including a broader set of research outcomes and adopting assessment processes that recognize their value.
