    Dear ASCB Current and Lapsed Members,

    ASCB is leading a "scholarly insurrection," with the San Francisco
    Declaration on Research Assessment, DORA for short, to reduce the
    impact of journal impact factors (JIF) on scientific assessment. Our
    allies include AAAS, HHMI, EMBO, and numerous other societies,
    institutions, and individuals. JIF were created for buying library
    subscriptions, but they have been misused as an all-purpose metric
    to assess the quality of science. This is deeply flawed, so the
    coalition wants to steer the scientific community back to a focus on
    the /content /of papers/,/ not the impact factor of the journal
    where they happen to be published.

    Please help us spread the word about DORA: http://am.ascb.org/dora/
    <http://ASCB.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0yMzYxNjc4JnA9MSZ1PTc2ODM2MDYwNCZsaT0xMjExNTkwMw/index.html>.
    We hope you will sign the declaration, and encourage all your
    scientific colleagues to do so as well.

    We started with 155 individual and 78 institutional signers. In
    three business days, the numbers have grown to over 800 and over
    100, respectively. But we are aiming for 5,000 signers, so we need
    your help!

    Thanks for helping ASCB and the entire scientific community with
    this important initiative.

    Stefano Bertuzzi
    ASCB Executive Director
