Evaluating individual research performance is a complex task that ideally examines productivity, scientific impact, and research quality--a task that metrics alone have been unable to achieve. In January 2011, the French Academy of Sciences published a report on current bibliometric (citation metric) methods for evaluating individual researchers, as well as recommendations for the integration of quality assessment. Here, I draw on key issues raised by this report and comment on the suggestions for improving existing research evaluation practices.
评估个人研究绩效是一项复杂的任务,理想情况下需要考察生产力、科学影响力和研究质量——而这单凭指标无法实现。2011 年 1 月,法国科学院发布了一份关于当前用于评估个体研究人员的文献计量(引文计量)方法的报告,以及关于纳入质量评估的建议。在此,我借鉴了该报告提出的关键问题,并对改进现有研究评估实践的建议进行了评论。
