“…It also has an indicator-based PRFS in which one of the indicators is bibliometric. This indicator, known as the "Norwegian Model" (Schneider, 2009;Ahlgren et al, 2012;Sivertsen, 2016), has so far been adopted at the national level by Denmark, Finland and Norway, partly also by Belgium (Flanders), as well as at the local level by several Swedish universities. In its section on Denmark, The Metric Tide report describes it as "primarily a distribution model".…”

Inspired by The Metric Tide report (2015) on the role of metrics in research assessment and management, and Lord Nicholas Stern's report Building on Success and Learning from Experience (2016), which deals with criticisms of REF2014 and gives advice for a redesign of REF2021, this article discusses the possible implications for other countries. It also contributes to the discussion of the future of the REF by taking an international perspective. The article offers a framework for understanding differences in the motivations and designs of performance-based research funding systems (PRFS) across countries. It also shows that a basis for mutual learning among countries is more needed than a formulation of best practice, thereby both contributing to and correcting the international outlook in The Metric Tide report and its supplementary Literature Review.

AimTo give an overview over journals chosen for publication by the radiography field. Background Traditionally, the professional development of radiography was dominated by other disciplines, e.g. radiology, physics, sociology and nursing. The move into the higher education sector led radiographers be additionally encouraged in research activities. Evidence based practice is an approach to clinical problem solving and health care provision based on "good evidence". Research papers are an important part. Till date, the publication activities and choose of journals among Norwegian radiography staffs have been unknown. ConclusionsThe wide list of journals chosen illustrates a broad underpinning of radiography. Radiography science in Norway has already shown considerable development and achieved many substantial and structural criteria set for independent academic disciplines.

“…The so-called "Norwegian model" (Schneider, 2009) has caught considerable attention during the last years, and similar models were implemented in several countries (Belgium: Flanders, Denmark, Finland and Portugal). The Norwegian model is a performance-based funding model that should "represent all areas of research equally and properly" (Sivertsen, 2016: 80).…”

The future of research assessment in the humanities: bottom-up assessment procedures

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Research assessment in the social sciences and humanities (SSH) is delicate. Assessment procedures meet strong criticisms from SSH scholars and bibliometric research shows that the methods that are usually applied are ill-adapted to SSH research. While until recently research on assessment in the SSH disciplines focused on the deficiencies of the current assessment methods, we present some European initiatives that take a bottom-up approach. They focus on research practices in SSH and reflect on how to assess SSH research with its own approaches instead of applying and adjusting the methods developed for and in the natural and life sciences. This is an important development because we can learn from previous evaluation exercises that whenever scholars felt that assessment procedures were imposed in a top-down manner without proper adjustments to SSH research, it resulted in boycotts or resistance. Applying adequate evaluation methods not only helps foster a better valorization of SSH research within the research community, among policymakers and colleagues from the natural sciences, but it will also help society to better understand SSH's contributions to solving major societal challenges. Therefore, taking the time to encourage bottom-up evaluation initiatives should result in being able to better confront the main challenges facing modern society. This article is published as part of a collection on the future of research assessment.
