ABSTRACT

This article discusses the use of bibliometric indicators for the assessment of individual academics. We focused on national indicators for the assessment of productivity in Polish higher education institutions. We analysed whether institutions (N = 768) adopted national templates for their own sets of criteria for intra-institutional evaluations. This study combined an analysis of internal policy documents with semi-structured interviews with deans from institutions in different fields of science. Our findings showed that, despite their high levels of institutional autonomy, the majority of institutions adopted the national criteria for the evaluation of individual academics. This article concludes with recommendations for reducing the negative consequences of local use of national indicators for the assessment of researchers.

摘要

本文讨论了文献计量指标在评估个别学者中的使用。我们专注于评估波兰高等教育机构生产力的国家指标。我们分析了机构（N = 768）是否采用了国家模板作为自己的机构内评估标准集。本研究将内部政策文件的分析与对不同科学领域机构院长的半结构化访谈相结合。我们的研究结果表明，尽管机构高度自治，但大多数机构采用了国家标准来评估个别学者。本文最后提出了减少地方使用国家指标对研究人员进行评估的负面影响的建议。
