“…Evidence is provided by the passing mentions of RE dark effects in the literature sampler used here . The third factor refers to the existing problems of evaluation tools, both quantitative [12], [13] and qualitative [3], [8], [11], [53].…”

“…Second, the ineffective research evaluation system can be identified as the main reason for the emergence of the RE dark effects. Typically, ineffectiveness arises when research evaluation systems are not subject-area/country-specific ( [4], [16], [19], [20], [26], [32], [33], [35], [41], [42]) or are not balanced to specific public needs ( [12], [15], [19], [26], [31], [38], [42]), do not account for the available scientific infrastructure ( [3], [8], [32], [35], [46]) or place too much emphasis on quantity rather than quality ( [14], [15], [17], [19], [20], [23], [30], [31], [32], [34], [36], [37], [48]).…”

“…For universities, rankings, reputation, and accreditation scores highly depend on evaluations of their publication activity, especially Scopus/Web of Science (WoS) publications [6], [7]. For funding organizations, research impact evaluation is now a worldwide tool to allocate public funding to universities and research projects [8], [9]. For governments, RE is one of the most frequently used instruments of national science policy [10].…”

What is Behind the Shine? The Dark Side of Research Evaluation: A Conceptual Framework

Research evaluation (RE) is presently a widely discussed and prominent subject within the academic community. This article provides a conceptual framework that categorizes the dark side of RE and provides strategies to diminish it. At its core, this framework includes a generic model summarizing RE dark effects and anti-dark effects remedies and elucidating their relations. Four research questions were raised regarding the research interest in the dark side of RE, the nature of the dark effects of RE and remedies for them, their literature prominence, and whether it is possible to create a well-founded model for mitigating the dark side of RE. Theoretically, this framework is based on concepts of the philosophy of science. Methodologically, a structured literature review, methods of expert judgment, analysis and synthesis, and a sampler of 35 articles underpin it. Stakeholder and logical approaches were applied for classification. The suggested framework is the first in-depth attempt to elucidate the dark side of RE and how to mitigate it. In practical terms, the framework can be incorporated into university/government RE systems to “enlighten”/control their dark side, thereby improving the academic governance toolkit. It can also be used to develop subject-area/country-specific models for the dark side of RE.

“…For example, the four world-famous international rankings, including ARWU, QS, TIMES, and USNEWS, take the research output performance to evaluate the scientific research performance of universities (ARWU, 2022; Craig, 2022; Robert & Eric, 2021; Times, 2020). The methods for evaluating the scientific research performance of universities proposed by scholars are always based on bibliometric indicators (Laengle et al, 2020; Mingers & Leydesdorff, 2015; Valzano, 2020), which is a clear trend around the world (Ciurak & Wierczyński, 2021; Coombs & Meijer, 2021). Although the evaluation strategy can help the public and funders to understand the level of university scientific research, it cannot provide information for universities to optimize such activities.…”

Evaluation of Scientific Research in Universities Based on the Theories for Sustainable Competitive Advantage

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Under the background of insufficient scientific research funding, evaluating the level of scientific research from the perspective of sustainable development is necessary. The study aims to develop an evaluation index system based on the theories for sustainable competitive advantage (SCA), which could be used to evaluate the sustainable development trend of scientific research in universities. In this study, 42 world-class universities in China are used as examples to calculate their SCA performance in scientific research using the entropy and equal weights methods. The scores of scientific research in different universities in the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) in 2021 are used to verify the effectiveness of the evaluation index system. The results show that the evaluation index system can effectively predict the scientific research performance of universities in the future. It could be deduced from the results that universities with better scientific research performance meet the needs of the external market better and have more valuable, rare, imitable, and ambiguous resources but a lower level of scientific research dynamic ability. The evaluation index system makes up for the lack of emphasis on the potential scientific research capacity of the university in the current evaluation methods. It can help university administrators formulate relevant scientific research management regulations.

“…Science evaluation systems in the SEE region and the broader neighborhood also increasingly focus on internationally indexed publications (Ciurak, Mijač, and Wierczyński 2021). These databases include the Elsevier Scopus and Clarivate Web of Science databases, which will be further discussed in the next section of this paper.…”

A Bibliometric Analysis of Public Business School Scientific Productivity and Impact in South-East Europe (2017-2021)

In this paper, we analyze the scientific productivity and impact of selected public business schools in South East Europe (SEE) in the 2017-2021 period by using the scientific output indexed in the Elsevier Scopus reference database. The region’s most productive and influential authors, institutions, and publication outlets are identified in the field of business research. Empirical results are discussed from the viewpoints of two research questions related to regional business school research patterns and the research cooperation outcomes. Selected public business schools in the SEE region have been found to have a mixed record regarding research productivity and impact. International collaboration is valuable in increasing the research impact, while institutional collaboration seems more effective in raising impact than national one. Recommendations for business school administrators are identified and discussed.
