Description

This scholarly volume examines the transformative impact of research evaluation systems on the relationships between state, universities, and scientific research across Europe and beyond. Emerging from discussions at the 2003 European Group for Organization Studies Colloquium in Copenhagen, the book presents systematic and comparative analysis of how proliferating evaluation schemes have reshaped governance structures within academic institutions. Part of the Sociology of the Sciences Yearbook series (volume 26), this work provides essential insight into contemporary shifts in science policy, institutional management, and the evolving role of evaluation frameworks in directing research priorities. The publication draws on interdisciplinary perspectives to explore how assessment mechanisms influence scientific practice, funding allocation, and organisational behaviour within the higher education sector.

Key Features

Edited by Lars Engwall and Richard Whitley, providing expert perspectives on European research evaluation systems and their institutional impact.

Published by Springer, a leading academic publisher specialising in rigorous scholarly works across science, technology, and social sciences.
