Leiden Manifesto for Research Metrics
Research evaluation has become routine and often relies on metrics. But it is increasingly driven by data and not by expert judgment.
To support researchers and managers, five experts led by Diana Hicks, professor in the School of Public Policy at Georgia Institute of Technology, and Paul Wouters, director of the Center for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) at Leiden University, have proposed 10 principles for the measurement of research performance: the Leiden Manifesto for Research Metrics. Published as commentary in Nature in July 2015, the principles are being circulated around the world. A video summarizing the principles is available and it has been published in the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts as Leading Edge Digital Publications Series
