In this study, we focus on the recommendation to use narrative CVs. We review 28 opinion pieces and 7 experiments to better understand what a narrative CV can refer to, and to explore whether the narrative function that is specific to this kind of CV is proving effective in response to the concerns raised by evaluation practices. A close reading of these documents reveals the conceptual basis of the narrative CV and the problems it is intended to solve; we propose 5 commonly reported features of the narrative CV: avoid lists, contextualise achievements , fight metrics, enlarge the spectrum of contributions taken into consideration and foster diversity and inclusion. But the promoters of the narrative CV pay little to investigate how the narrative feature itself can lead to any benefits. However, the feedback collected from both applicants and evaluators is quite positive. Regardless of whether it is justified or not, the enthusiasm aroused by the implementation of this new type of CV undeniably has the advantage of opening up the debate, raising awareness and calling to question the bad practices and biases that exist in the researchers' assessment processes. The narrative nature of the CV is, in the end, just a pretext for raising interest and working towards the adoption of good practices.  \nKeywords: research evaluation, researcher assessment, responsible research assessment, narrative CV  \n1 Introduction  \nFor over a decade, the academic community has become increasingly concerned about the drifts of research evaluation, mostly researchers' evaluation, because bibliometric indicators are overemphasized while research societal impact is not considered enough. Some important developments have drawn attention to the need to improve the current system for assessing researchers' achievements. The San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA members 2013) is the most important. The researchers who launched it criticized the increasing use of metrics for the evaluation of scientific research outputs, in particular the misuse of the impact factor. A few years later, the Leiden Manifesto followed the same line and stated that evaluation is \"increasingly driven by data and not by expert judgement\" (Hicks et al. 2015) . In the same year, the report \"The Metric Tide\" (Wilsdon et al. 2015) produced by a group of independent experts had an international resonance, although it was initiated in a UK context. The report raises concerns \"that some quantitative indicators can be gamed\" and called for the use of responsible metrics.  \nThese same initiatives and many others have made recommendations to improve the way researchers should be evaluated. Recently, following the Open Science European Conference 2022, the Paris Call on Research assessment1 and the subsequent agreement for reforming research assessment proposed by a coalition of organisations (2022) , invited to reform the current system of research assessment by taking into account the full range of research outputsin all their diversity and evaluating them on their intrinsic merits and impact.
