Levels and Indicators of Evaluation Research Impacts based on Evaluation Systems
Research evaluation is a set of different concepts and methods around quality and impact and is considered as a technical or operational activity that is designed to depict the objective elements of the research process. Understanding the value and effects of research can be tracked at different levels and with different indicators. This study lists and categorizes the quantifiable indicators that international reference bases and evaluation and rating systems have suggested.
This research is practical in terms of its purpose, and it is considered a library in terms of the method of data collection. In order to extract measurable indicators of scientific impact, 29 databases and systems were examined.
The different levels of the science system that this study sought to identify their quantifiable indicators were categorized as follows: journals; articles; research areas; Books; researchers; Educational and research organizations and countries.
In order to evaluate the effects of research, there are various and different approaches and each of them has its own advantages and limitations. To better understand the role of scientometrics in impact evaluation, its position in the overall value chain of research should be seen, which starts with planning and funding; It continues with the selection and implementation of the project and ends with the research results. After use, results are achieved. Scientometrics is based on the quantitative analysis of scientific developments, mainly in the field of research results, trying to measure impact.
