The San Francisco Declaration On Research Assessment (commonly known as DORA) was formulated in 2012 as a warning against abuses and misuses of simple publication metrics - starting with the journal impact factor - for individual research assessment. It provides recommendations targeted at various stakeholders of the research ecosystem: institutions, funding agencies, scientific journals, researchers themselves, etc. and notably stresses the need to take into account a broader variety of research outputs in individual and collective evaluations.

The Open Researcher and Contributor ID - ORCID - provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities ensuring that your work is recognised. If you do not already have one, you can register on their website: https://orcid.org/
The current version of ORBilu does not include the option to fill-in your ORCID, but it will be added to the system in the near future.
