At macro level we can evaluate a national research policy (GLÄNZEL;LETA;THIJS, 2006;PACK-ER;MENEGHINI, 2006;LEITE, 2008;FELIX, GODOY BERTOLIN;MOROSINI POLIDORI, 2017), a supra national research program (TOIVANEN; PONOMARIOV, 2011) or a global knowledge network PERS-SON, 2010;SUN;MANSON, 2011); at meso level it is possible to perform research evaluation at institutional (LEITE, 2005;QUINTELLA et al, 2009), or organizational levels (BOARDMAN;CORLEY, 2008;QUINTELLA et al, 2014) such as evaluations with a university or research center scope; at micro level the focus can be the individual researcher, a group or ego-network (BOZEMAN;CORLEY, 2004;LEITE et al, 2014).…”
