The trials and tribulations of research evaluation. Quantification to the rescue? [Review]
Original language description
This review essay is part of a larger symposium dedicated to discussing The Quantified Scholar, a book by Juan Pablo Pardo-Guerra that critically examines the increasing role of quantification in academia. Specifically, this essay focuses on the challenges associated with funding the social sciences, analyzing how financial structures and resource allocation impact research priorities, academic careers, and institutional decision-making. Additionally, it explores the broader implications of quantification in higher education, particularly in the ways that metrics, rankings, and performance evaluations shape scholarly work, influence hiring and promotion practices, and ultimately transform the very nature of knowledge production. By dissecting these issues, the essay aims to shed light on the limitations of data-driven governance in academic institutions.
