Scope

The journal publishes for a broad scholarly audience and for the policy domain commissioned reports, short communications and multi-disciplinary research papers on the quantitative or qualitative assessment of scientific-scholarly activity, communication and performance. Its mission is to enhance among a wide scholarly and policy audience the knowledge on the potential and limits of scholarly assessment methodologies, in order to establish optimal conditions for an informed, responsible, effective and fair use of such methodologies and their metrics in actual scholarly assessment practices. • The journal aims to enhance the communication between developers of research assessment methodologies and indicators on the one hand, and the wider scholarly community and the research policy community on the other. • Presenting a multi-disciplinary view of research assessment and evaluation for a broad audience, the journal does not assign a preferred status to any particular disciplinary viewpoint, assessment methodology or practical application. • It informs research policy officials and managers and the wider scientific-scholarly community about the pros and cons of the various assessment methodologies and applications. • The journal aims to constitute a platform for reflections upon current assessment processes, and for proposals for new, alternative approaches. • It critically discusses policy claims and assumptions, and opens new viewpoints. In addition, it proposes to colleagues in other disciplines possible new analytical tools. Join the conversation about this journal
