We are pleased to support the principles of the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), a global initiative that advocates for improving the evaluation of scholarly research and research outputs.<br><br>We believe that scientific work should be assessed on its intrinsic quality, methodological rigor, originality, and real-world impact, rather than being judged solely through journal-based metrics such as impact factors. Meaningful research evaluation should acknowledge the diverse ways in which scientific contributions advance clinical practice, education, innovation, and public health.<br><br>By aligning with DORA principles, RAM is committed to:<br><br>\u2022 Valuing the scientific merit and relevance of individual research articles over journal-level metrics.<br>\u2022 Recognizing diverse scholarly contributions, including clinical data, methodological innovations, educational resources, and interdisciplinary work.<br>\u2022 Encouraging ethical, transparent, reproducible, and collaborative research practices.<br>\u2022 Supporting equitable and unbiased evaluation processes for authors, reviewers, and editorial contributors.<br>\u2022 Promoting inclusivity, accessibility, and responsible dissemination of medical and allied health sciences research.<br>\u2022 Encouraging research that contributes to patient care, healthcare systems, public health advancement, and societal benefit.<br><br>We believe that responsible research assessment fosters a healthier and more progressive academic ecosystem. Through our support of DORA principles, RAMJ aims to contribute toward a fair, transparent, and impact-oriented scholarly publishing culture that values meaningful scientific advancement over simplified quantitative indicators.<br><br>For more information about DORA and its principles, please visit:<br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/sfdora.org\/sign\/faq\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"
