英文文献:The Democratization of Evaluation and Altmetrics
英文文献作者:Cinzia Daraio
英文文献摘要:
In this paper we provide an interpretation of the current trends in the evaluation of research and propose a performance evaluation approach for the current time. By adopting an economics and management perspective, we show that there is a need for democratization and we propose a possible meaning of Altmetrics as an answer to this need, created - among other factors - by the unfaireness of traditional bibliometric indicators. The proposed performance evaluation model might be used as a ???democratic evaluation tool?? for value creation in a learning and participatory environment where evaluation is in the communities and for the communities. Some caveats and critical conditions including the relationship between democratization and meritocracy are outlined.
