Influencing the changing world of research evaluation

Abstract

This article provides an overview of the current research evaluation landscape, the problems inherent within it and some of the ways a newly formed INORMS (International Network of Research Management Societies) working group on research evaluation is seeking to address them. These include developing a way of rating university ranking bodies and developing a set of briefing materials on responsible research evaluation for senior managers.
