REA adheres to the DORA principles
REA – Italian Review of Agricultural Economics proudly aligns with the principles delineated in the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA). As an academic publication dedicated to promoting rigorous and ethical research practices, REA understands the significance of moving beyond simplistic metrics in the evaluation of scholarly contributions. By embracing the DORA principles, REA prioritizes the qualitative assessment of research outputs, emphasizing the intrinsic value of the work.
Joining DORA entails, among others, some important operational implications for REA. First, this commitment means that REA will assess submissions based on their scholarly significance, methodological rigor, and contribution to the advancement of knowledge within the agricultural economics discipline. Second, a broad range of metrics is referenced to provide a richer understanding of the journal's performance. Third, REA encourages authors to provide comprehensive information about their specific contributions. Fourth, in line with DORA's recommendations, all reuse limitations on reference lists in research articles will be removed by making them available under the Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication. Finally, REA mandates the citation of primary literature in favour of reviews to give credit to the group(s) who first reported a finding.
Through these actions, REA reaffirms its commitment to fostering a scholarly ecosystem that values integrity, diversity, and the equitable recognition of research excellence.
