Research Evaluation

Research Evaluation is a peer-reviewed, international journal. It ranges from the individual research project up to inter-country comparisons of research performance. Research projects, researchers, research centres, and the types of research output are all relevant. It includes public and private sectors, natural and social sciences. The term 'evaluation' applies to all stages from priorities and proposals, through the monitoring of on-going projects and programmes, to the use of the results of research.

Research Evaluation has readers in universities, governments, research councils, consultancies, etc, around the world. It is in the Social Science Citation Index
