7 Come funziona il RAE? Il RAE analizza con il sistema del peer review combinato con study sessions la ricerca scientifica e le attività connesse Quale e l oggetto della valutazione? I dipartimenti universitari Quale e lo scopo? Distribuire I finanziamenti

8 Quali sono le informazioni che entrano in valutazione? Ogni istituzione fornisce informazione su: Staff di ricerca attivo (RA1) Prodotti della ricerca fino a 4 pubblicazione per persona attiva (RA2) Research assistants (gia in RA1), research students, borse di ricerca (RA3) Entrate esterne per ricerca (RA4) Descrizione dell ambiente della ricerca e pianificazione strategica (RA5) (in aggiunta informazioni confidenziali )

9 Cosa e un prodotto della Ricerca? Referee article in Category A journal Monograph (publisher significant), scholarly edition Chapter in book Also: creative writing,coauthored works, applied research, teaching material IF there s a research component, electronic publications, databases, etc.

10 Livelli di Qualita 4* Quality that is world-leading in terms of originality, significance and rigour. 3* Quality that is internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance and rigour but which nonetheless falls short of the highest standards of excellence 2* Quality that is recognised internationally in terms of originality, significance and rigour. 1* Quality that is recognised nationally in terms of originality, significance and rigour. u/c Quality that falls below the standard of nationally recognised work.

11 GLI ESTEEM INDICATORS SONO INDICATORI PARAMETRICI ESTERNI - PER ESEMPIO L IMPACT FACTOR

16 COME VENGONO USATI I RISULTATI? Il Dipartimento contribuisce a determinare il Finanziamento dell Universita in proporzione al numerino nella terza colonna

17 Problemi Costo della valutazione (= un intera nuova universita ), oltre 75 milioni di sterline!! Tempo usato per preparare il materiale e per i 359 membri dei panel Distorsione per acquisto di superstar (come nel calcio), dove tutte le pubblicazione seguono il prof. Distorsione per seguire gli indicatori delle riviste, etc

18 Altri problemi Le scienze umanistiche non permettono in generale uso di indicatori bibliometrici Rottura della collegialita > prime donne vs staff docente. Valutazioni bloccate per 5 6 anni I professori senior spesso impongono chi e cosa debba essere valutato

19 La DFG usa invece un metodo di inverse mapping ricostruisce il rank dai finanziamenti Opera per Aree e per Universita

23 FONDI ESTERNI PER AREA per persona Serve per rinormalizzare le scale di valutazione.

24 Ranking

25 Le Universita finlandesi applicano il sistema inglese in modo autonomo ciascuna per suo conto Esempio importante: 1- panel internazionale 2- autovalutazione per assunzioni e internal funding

26 Esempio di panel Panel 2: Biosciences Tim Hunt, UK Cancer Research, UK, Chair Per Andersen, University of Oslo, Department of Physiology, Norway Michael Ashburner, University of Cambridge, Department of Genetics, UK Paul M. Brakefi eld, Leiden University, Institute of Biology, The Netherlands S.
