12. What part can the university play in the dissemination of science?
Dramatis personae:
• (1) Research evaluation (institution and careers):
- ANVUR (AERES-HCERES/ HEFCE, SHEFC, HEFCW, DELNI)- VQR 2004-2010/2011-2014 (RAE 2008/ Campagne d’évaluation 2013-2014) - ASN 2012, 2013, 2016
• (2) New mixed tools for evaluation (bibliometrics / peer review / informed peer review)
www.fupress.com | Milano, 17 Marzo, 2017
• (3) Digital infrastructure, data set and indexes of research products (production / access / citation statistics)
• (4) quality weighted allocation of public research funding
www.fupress.com | Milano, 17 Marzo, 2017
The ‘Comedìa’:• The virtuous circle: Research → Evaluation →
Reward → New research
• The certified dissemination of the products of science is the benchmark of the virtuous cycle.
• (Hp. 1) The certified dissemination of the products of science is the mission of the academic publishing of the future
• (Hp. 2) no one than universities has more interest in getting involved in academic publishing
