A short story about multi-dimensional research assessment and SciVal applications
Verheggen, Joep
Research assessment is a abroad endeavour. At the root it is an attempt to measure the return on investment in scientific –scholarly research. Research assessment includes the evaluation of research quality and measurements of research inputs, outputs and impacts and embraces both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. In his talk the presenter provides a concise overview of developments in research assessment and evaluation practices and will address a conceptual model for multi-dimensional research assessment. He will further address Elsevier’s involvement in research management through its “SciVal” portfolio of research performance, - planning and - funding applications. The presenter will demonstrate how this portfolio can meaningful contribute to both national/regional and institutional assessment exercises. He will subsequently provide a number of examples to illustrate how Governments and/or HE Institutions and organisations like Elsevier can collaborate to improve the quality of Research Management and the assessment exercise process.
