COMMUNITIES
ACM-W Gothernburg
ACM stands for the Association for Computing Machinery. Traditionally, ACM is a research publisher in engineering, interaction design, information systems, and more. ACM-W is a framework where towns have Women's Chapters. The chapters act as network hubs to promote career development, networking opportunities, mentorship, and support to women in the field (industry and academia) of computing.
ACM-W Gothenburg started in 2025 and is run by volunteers. We have no membership fees, and no ACM membership is needed to be part of the network. We have organised networking events, mentorship sessions, educational sessions, and workshops related to work environments from the perspective of women in computing.

DORA
The San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) is a global initiative aimed at reforming how research and researchers are evaluated. It advocates for assessing research on its own merit rather than relying on journal-based metrics, such as impact factors, for hiring, promotion, and funding decisions.

Journal impact factors and other similar journal-based indicators do not provide reliable information about individual articles or researchers - see the infographic Rethinking Research Assessment: Ideas for Action
-
There is a wide variety of academic achievements and outcomes that could be considered “impactful” - see the infographic Rethinking Research Assessment: Building Blocks for Impact
