[1] A maximum of seven years must have passed between the PhD defence and the nomination deadline, i.e. defence date between 17 March 2016 and 17 March 2021. An earlier defence date than 17 March 2016 may be accepted for certain types of leave, such as parental leave and full- or part-time sick leave, which corresponds to at least eight weeks of full-time absence after the PhD defence date. Reference must be made to the dates of such absence. Additional documentation may be requested if the absence occurred while working outside OUS. Absence from research to work with clinical specialization is not grounds for deduction. Time spent on clinical work/specialisation does not count negatively - the committee is aware of the difference between full-time and part-time researchers


[2] Consider the value and impact of all research outputs (including datasets and software) in addition to research publications, and consider a broad range of impact measures including qualitative indicators of research impact, such as influence on policy and practice, Read the Declaration | DORA (sfdora.org)
