The context Source: Comparative study, showing the differences and similarities of national research evaluation systems and procedures in 19 countries Evaluation is innate in research Countries have different evaluation procedures in place Different types of research evaluation procedures (e.g. national career promotion, excellence initiatives, performance-based funding ) and level of main evaluation procedure (national,regional or institutional) Different combinations Different functions Link to political situation in country Few countries have SSH specific adaptations
Researchers and evaluation Researchers: Are constantly evaluated during their lifetime Know that their work is subject to evaluation from the very beginning of their life as researchers Act also as evaluators of their peers
Career promotion procedure : Why is important Research evaluation practices influence the strategic behaviour of researchers Most of the procedure of evaluation induces researchers in developing career strategies favouring quantity over quality Scholars should keep in mind the differences in career systems, career steps and progression: In case they want to change their country When collaborating with scholars from other countries
Recommendations for Researchers Extraordinary diversity of evaluation procedures Be aware that there are different approaches to evaluation and to see research quality Make sure to follow a strategy that is compatible with many systems as you might change country Respect the needs of your colleagues to fulfil requirements of their system (and they will work best with you if they get the acknowledgement in their system) Critically discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the different systems and avoid negative effects on your work. Engage to improve evaluation systems, respecting research practices
