The DFG has responded to developments in the field of academic publishing with its position paper \u201cAcademic Publishing as a Foundation and Area of Leverage for Research Assessment\u201d. In addition to shedding light on problems in the sector of academic publishing, the paper undertakes an analysis of how undesirable developments in the publishing system are linked to a form of assessment of research that is excessively guided by publication metrics. It sets as a key goal the freedom to publish in a manner that is appropriate to science and scholarship: this includes free choice of the medium and venue of publication, the securing of exploitation rights by those publishing, and the ensuring of open access to the published material. The position paper puts forward proposals concerning the reduction of misguiding incentives and a reorientation in the assessment of research. In future, the latter is to be even more strongly geared towards the content of research and diversity in research in terms of people and careers, research questions, output formats and forms of publication. The paper is aimed at all actors in the research system \u2013 active researchers, their employers and funding providers.<\/p>\n\n\n
