Qualität von Forschungsleistungen

Abstract

The contribution proceeds from the observation that current discussions on research and funding policy increasingly conflate the concept 'research quality' with the concept of 'research performance'. After distinguishing the notions of 'quality' and 'performance', the first step of the contribution is devoted to central dimensions of 'research quality': plausibility, originality, scientific and social relevance. Broadly speaking, these four dimensions have authority across disciplinary cultures. The first step thus concludes with a discussion of notions of research quality that are rather discipline specific. In a second step, the contribution sheds light on central indicators of 'research performance': third-party funding, publications and citations. The contribution concludes with a discussion that relates the concepts of 'quality' and 'performance' by asking to what extent 'research performance' is actually indicative of 'research quality'.
