Veranstaltungsflyer
Performance evaluation in research is more and more based on numbers of publications, citations, and impact factors. In the wake of New Public Management output control has been introduced into research governance without taking into account the conditions necessary for this kind of control to work efficiently. It is argued that to evaluate research by output control is counterproductive as it leads to a "performance paradox". It induces to substitute the taste for science by a taste for publication or a "taste for rankings". Instead, input control by careful selection and socialization serves as an alternative.
