@nicebread This is a crucial question to discuss in the open and possibly create a statement from it somewhere for future reference...
Should the open science network commit to the #DORA and #CoARA agreements and therefore not include researchers quantitative metrics at all ?

However, I am very skeptical about displaying the h-index and i10 index (and probably also about the overall citation count). With #DORA and #CoARA, we want to get away from these indexes. (They are readily available - but that's their deceptive seduction).

To stay in the analogy: At a campfire gathering, I am looking for deep (and also funny and affiliative) conversations with fellow researchers. If there is a guy shouting out his impressive h-index as a greeting, I would immediately leave.

If we try to build a utopian community place, we should not recreate the dysfunctional incentive structures of default academia.

Yes, I know how you feel. Their response to my complaint last year was that they only do outreach, not enforcement. Same for CoARA, by the way.

IMHO, DORA et al. have no teeth at all and hence no consequences whatsoever, beyond stirring hope that then gets crushed.
