I materiali (relazioni o slides) di un convegno tenutosi nel 2008 a Bologna. La relazione di J. Küpper spiega come la valutazione individuale dei docenti della Germania Est dopo la riunificazione ha aperto la a nuove procedure di valutazione nella Germania riunificata. Nelle slides di Guevara e Scalise c’è un’interessante valutazione bibliometrica di Noam Chomsky mediante ISI Web of Knowledge (Thomson-Reuters). Una volta ristretta la ricerca alla linguistica, l’interrogazione restituisce solo 5 pubblicazioni, “a funny result for the most influential linguist in the world”. Dopo un altro paio di test dello stesso genere, Guevara e Scalise concludono che “Web of Knowledge covers humanities quite badly”. Interessanti anche le 12 tesi di Henk van Riemsdijk. Ne menzioniamo 4 che sembrano particolarmente degne di nota:
4. Universities should have sufficient financial and political independence to act on the recommendations of visiting committees – otherwise you might as well forget about evaluation altogether.
6. Self-evaluations constitute a good starting point for any evaluation procedure.
7. (Biblio-)metric tools can be very useful in the evaluation process, but only in the hands of experienced and intelligent evaluators (see also the presentation by Henk Moed).
