Research Evaluation: Implementing a Clear Framework

Abstract

Research Evaluation is being done with many different evaluation frameworks and uses many tools for gathering appropriate data, but no single approach works in all contexts and for all purposes. In this article we reflect on designing a research Evaluation with a focus on the Planning task. Through answering to thirteen questions we can follow a Research Evaluation Chain Decision Process in order to choose adequate tools and metrics to achieve the purpose of the Evaluation.
