Quels impacts des dispositifs d’évaluation sur la recherche universitaire ?

Abstract

This paper raises the question of the effect of evaluation processes on the relationship between science and industry in the context of reforms of the French system of education and research. The increasing use of bibliometrics indicators as a major mode of evaluation seems to promote disciplinary logics which are contradicting political initiatives launched in order to bring universities closer to their economic environment. Researchers’ commitments and strategies in competiveness clusters underline such paradox.
