I unfold the argument for a research assessment based on ‘research behaviour’ (e.g. knowledge sharing and collaboration) rather than solely on research outputs in bibliometric terms (e.g, number of publications, citation counts etc), reflecting a more open science practice. Quantitative assessments are any case not appropriate for assessing the…[Read more]
