There is broad consensus that research assessment needs to be reformed. Initiatives like the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (CoARA) advocate for a qualitative evaluation, complemented by transparent indicators, and they promote better research practices such as methodological rigor and reproducibility. The Research Quality Evaluation (RESQUE) framework, supported by the German Psychological Society (DGPs), offers a structured approach to assessing research based on qualitative criteria and responsible metric use. Developed within an open community, it defines quality standards across psychological research domains. Following an introduction to the framework and its principles, a hands-on session will allow attendees to assess their own work using multiple quality criteria. The tool then generates a personalized research profile, useful for job applications, selection processes, or academic websites. The workshop aims to promote hands-on experience and discussion on responsible research assessment, and we hope to gain valuable feedback from a users’ perspective.
