Evaluating Research beyond Scientific ImpactHow to Include Criteria for Productive Interactions and Impact on Practice and Society

摘要: Currently, established research evaluation focuses on scientific impact – that is, the of science itself. We discuss extending to cover productive interactions and practice society. The results are based interviews with scientists from (organic) agriculture a review literature broader/social/societal assessment interdisciplinary ransdisciplinary research. There is broad agreement about what activities impacts relevant for such an evaluation. However, extension hampered by lack easily usable data. To reduce effort involved in data collection,the usability existing documentation procedures (e. g., proposals reports funding) needs be increased.We propose structured database scientists, projects, programmes institutions, one will require little additional beyond reporting requirements.
