🔎 Evaluation Projects

Several research projects work(ed) on the evaluation of the RESQUE rating scheme:

Key findings

63 papers nominated by 21 participating researchers were rated by external raters (i.e., not the authors themselves) with the RESQUE-Pubs scheme (version 0.1). Inter-rater reliability, associations between the new and traditional indicators, and feedback from the participants on the new tool were examined. Inter-rater reliability for the three raters varied between the different items of the scheme. Besides a negative association between the new indicators and the uncorrected h-index, no other significant associations were found. The feedback from participants revealed the importance of transparency concerning the scheme.
