Title: Exploring equity issues in research metrics
Location: Treehouse, Shortland Building, Callaghan Campus
Description: This panel will explore equity issues around research metrics used in higher education, including:

• Now that global rankings systems have expanded beyond research metrics to encompass SDGs, ESGs and impact, what are the challenges around data and metrics related to capturing the social, cultural and political impact of research?
• What is the impact of open access to published work and datasets?
• How are research metrics improving in relation to tracking impact, especially in areas that are not well suited traditionally to metrics evaluations, such as the creative arts, humanities and social sciences?
• What are the ways that data collection and harvesting are evolving for national research exercises and will this be more or less equitable across different types of institutions and disciplines?
