Retrieved 12 March 2019, from: https://eua.eu/resources/publications/316:eua-roadmap-on-researchassessment-in-thetransition-to-open-science.htmlAround the world specific methods are employed to evaluate the quantity and quality of universities’ research output. Because of increased competition between institutions research assessment plays useful role in giving incentives to increase quality of research. As scientific literature suggests research output is a function of resources spent and the microeconomic incentive structure [1]. Countries that perform well and introduced the system of research assessment have methods to evaluate research output. They strengthened their systems by introducing improved incentives. Evaluations are important as incentives and et the same time l they provide data on the research activity within a country. If there is no transparent and objective way of examining research activity. Without such data it is not possible to see whether the research system is functioning and how it can be improved [1]. Nowadays in institutions of higher education that have scientists from many fields assessing the research performance requires from evaluators the aggregation of the performance measures of the various fields. Two methods of aggregation are applied that are based on: (a) the performance of the individual scientists or (b) the performance of the scientific fields present in the institution [2]. The choice depends on context and the objectives. The two methods creates differences in performance scores as well as rankings. Many countries have introduced evaluations of university research that reflects global demands for greater accountability. Revisiting research assessment procedures is a shared responsibility and requires a concerted approach uniting major actors such as researchers and universities, research funding organizations, policymakers and non-governmental organizations. In this process leading role can be played by The European University Association (EUA) since it is the representative organization of universities and national rectors’ conferences in 48 European countries. EUA plays a crucial role in the Bologna Process and in influencing European Union policies on higher education, research and innovation. The Expert Group and EUA Secretariat developed the EUA Roadmap on Research Assessment in the Transition to Open Science and launched an Expert Subgroup on Research Assessment in 2018 [10]. International collaborations through various networks and non-governmental organizations such as EUA should make considerable contribution to gather and share information, to initiate dialogue between key actors, to formulate good practice and make policy recommendations for the next step in revising the system of research assessment

Outcomes of Higher Education Reform: descriptive Report according to Bologna Process Indicators International Institute for Education Policy, Planning and Management. 2012.
Perran A., Perran, S., Mason, J., Roger, L. (2013), SharePoint 2013 Buliding Business Solutions, ISBN-13: 978-1118495896The effective cooperation between the businesses and the universities is essential and has to be treasured as contributing to knowledge and economy. University – business cooperation (UBC) is considered as a priority for the development of the fields of both, education and business. The experience shows that the universities and the business speak different languages. The gap between the worlds of education and business is explained with the conservativeness of the higher education institutions, and the dynamic business environment. It is mostly implemented at a bilateral level and focused on joint projects and practical initiatives of common interest (Rakovska et al., 2013). The article gives conclusions and recommendations regarding the cooperation between the university and the business. Different models are construed regarding this issue and a united business analytics portal and ways of its management are developed. Based on cloud-based business intelligence services, users can view and share reports and dashboards on the web and mobile devices. The data are analyzed what allows elaborating and improving the cooperation between the university and the business
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
