When science is evaluated by bureaucrats and administrators, it usually done quantified performance metrics, for the purpose of economic productivity. Olof Hallonsten criticizes both means (quantification) (economization) such external evaluation. I share concern that neoliberal metrics are shallow, over-simplified inaccurate, but differ in how best to oppose this reductionism. proposes replace quantitative with qualitative in-depth evaluation science, which would keep internal scientific...
