Abstract Research assessment in the social sciences and humanities (SSH) is delicate. Assessment procedures meet strong criticisms from SSH scholars bibliometric research shows that methods are usually applied ill-adapted to research. While until recently on disciplines focused deficiencies of current methods, we present some European initiatives take a bottom-up approach. They focus practices reflect how assess with its own approaches instead applying adjusting developed for natural life...
There is currently no agreed upon standard how to evaluate humanities research. Our article addresses one of the several reasons for this: missing link between indicators and scholars' notions quality.

This study examines a basic assumption of peer review, namely, the idea that there is consensus on evaluation criteria among peers, which necessary condition for reliability judgements. Empirical evidence indicating no or more than one would offer an explanation disagreement effect, low inter-rater consistently observed in review. To investigate this assumption, we have surveyed all humanities scholars Switzerland 23 grant review criteria. We employed latent class tree modelling to identify...
Abstract Welfare opinion research has traditionally viewed migration as a potential hazard for welfare solidarity. In this article, we argue that while increased presence of foreigners can indeed make some people less supportive public provision in general or trigger opposition to migrants’ social rights, the link between and solidarity is not universally negative one. Instead, many combine support with high preferences comprehensive protection; others endorse they are particularly an...

The idea for this blog post emerged in the context of a special issue with online journal <em> Frontiers Research Metrics and Analytics </em> . We, group researchers that can broadly be associated science &amp; technology studies meta-research, were invited by to guest edit what they call ‘Research Topic’, suggesting it could focus on innovations peer review practices.
This thematic issue aims to shed light on different facets of the relationship between division labour within families and couples, work–life conflict family policy. In this afterword, we provide a summary contributions by emphasizing three main aspects in need further scrutiny: conceptualisation multilevel structure relationships interactions gender(ed) values at levels exploration.
