Research Evaluation beyond standardized approaches

Research evaluations often take a standardized approach. With research policies linked to societal challenges and economic goals, new approaches in research evaluation have been developed. How can they help you in improving your research policy and make it more evidence-based?

Think of evaluations of policies that fund research to strengthen regional economic development. Or peer reviews of international research programs in medical science. How to evaluate a research institute for transitions in agriculture? In such evaluations, questions of research quality and research management are connected to issues of impacts, effectiveness, policy logic, implementation and policy legitimacy.
