We need to change the way we assess research - with a focus on quality (over quantity). The RESearch QUality Evaluation (RESQUE) framework
provides an evaluation scheme for publications, data sets, and research software. With this tool, you
can enter the necessary information for your best research outputs, export a profile that shows your
research style (not implemented yet), and use it for your CV or in hiring and tenure committees.
👀 How to use the RESQUE tool?
How do I add a new publication / software project / data set?
Normally, you would use the buttons in the sidebar on the left.
For this time, you can do it here:
How do I save my data?
Clicking on the button here or in the top left corner
of this website exports a .json file. You can save this on your computer and share it with
others.
How do I load data I previously saved?
You can use the button here or in the top left corner of
this website.
How can I clear all information I entered?
You can delete all data stored in the browser by clicking on the button here or in the top left corner of this
website.
What should I do if I want to use RESQUE on a shared/public computer?
Whenever you open this website, it loads the locally stored data. On public computers, make sure that
you clear your data after you saved them as a file.
🔒 Privacy • Is my data stored privately in a safe location?
No data leaves your device.
