Reforming the Evaluation of Research New Directions for Evaluation

"This volume of New Directions for Evaluation, devoted to efforts at improving the evaluation of research, represents the theoretical, methodological, and practice perspectives of some of the world's leading scholars who have devoted themselves to improving how research is evaluated. These contributions come from authors currently or recently working in Australia, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The chapters in this volume offer what we hope will be powerful and promising insights about evaluations of research, not just for the scientists, technologists, and scholars who have been or will be subjected to an assessment of their own research, but also for research managers and policy makers."--BOOK JACKET.
