Research performance assessment in interdisciplinary research: two case studies for Germany and the UK

Abstract

The presentation examines the need to have standardized classifications for an adequate research reporting and assessment activity. A comparison is provided between institutional research reporting from current research information systems for assessment processes at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany and for the Research Excellence Framework (REF) in the UK. Finally, the Output Profiles reporting feature by the Converis CRIS is introduced, showing its high-degree of matching for the REF requirements.
