DORA (San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment)
The DORA principles aim to ensure fair evaluation of scientific activity:

Quality over quantitative metrics – evaluating research based on its scientific value, novelty, and contribution to science, rather than solely on bibliometric indicators (impact factor, h-index).
Recognition of diverse outputs – software, data, algorithms, technical solutions.
Support for interdisciplinary research – equal standing with traditional publications.
Promotion of open science – publication of preprints, open access to data and code.
ICMJE (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors)
General principles include:

Authorship criteria – only those who have made a substantial contribution to the work are recognized as authors.
