Session outline for Research on Research Assessment
This session addresses emerging research focusing on research assessment, indicators, metrics, and drivers of cultural change. To foster sustainable reform of research assessment, the session takes stock of the progress and promising practices generated by a selection of research projects. More specifically, the session presents studies of research assessment practices and their impact on academic practices and career development. To support cultural change, studies are needed to analyze researcher’s attitudes, behaviors, publication practices, impact and collaborative abilities. The session provides an overview of evidence relating to the assessment reforms so far. The aim of the session is to map research assessment activities that are tested, developed and implemented through on-going projects, and to support the dissemination of good practices stemming from them.
