Performance management at universities : the Danish bibliometric research indicator at work

Mouritzen, Poul Erik, author, Opstrup, Niels, author

Overview

This book gives an account of what can happen when performance management is introduced at universities. How do scholars -- for better or worse -- respond to a system which counts the number of articles and books? Many myths exist about scholar's reactions: They cheat, slice their production to the least publishable unit, become more risk averse and will go for the low-hanging fruits; in short, they develop a \"taste for publication\" at the cost of a \"taste of science\". Systematic knowledge about the consequences of such systems for the motivation, behavior and productivity of university scholars is in short supply. The book is a major contribution to remedy this situation.
