RESEARCH ASSESSMENT IN THE HUMANITIES GEBUNDEN

This book analyses and discusses the recent developments for assessing research quality in the
humanities and related fields in the social sciences. Research assessments in the humanities
are highly controversial and the evaluation of humanities research is delicate. While
citation-based research performance indicators are widely used in the natural and life sciences
quantitative measures for research performance meet strong opposition in the humanities. This
volume combines the presentation of state-of-the-art projects on research assessments in the
humanities by humanities scholars themselves with a description of the evaluation of humanities
research in practice presented by research funders. Bibliometric issues concerning humanities
research complete the exhaustive analysis of humanities research assessment. The selection of
authors is well-balanced between humanities scholars  research funders  and researchers on
higher education. Hence  the edited volume succeeds in painting a comprehensive picture of
research evaluation in the humanities. This book is valuable to university and science policy
makers  university administrators  research evaluators  bibliometricians as well as humanities
scholars who seek expert knowledge in research evaluation in the humanities.
