Modelling national research assessments in CERIF
نویسندگان
چکیده
Assessment of research activity in universities is of growing interest across Europe, and internationally. In this paper the term universities will be used as shorthand for all higher education institutions. The global league tables of the Times QS World University Ranking and Shanghai Jiao Tong Academic Ranking of World Universities are studied, debated and publicised annually. At national levels, assessment exercises are used in different ways. Some aim to help entrants choose universities based on notions of popularity and employability. Others may be designed to help improve university research activity and define the performance targets. Still others are formal exercises which determine the allocation of funding.
