A Comprehensive Framework for Assessing Scientific Research Effectiveness Among Academic and Research Staff

Abstract

This paper addresses the crucial task of devising comprehensive criteria and indicators for evaluating the effectiveness of pedagogical research conducted by academic and research staff in higher education institutions (HEIs). Four major assessment criteria are identified: publication and dissemination, utilization, impact on the academic community, and representation-scientific. Each criterion is further broken down into specific indicators, including involvement in project competitions, scientific publications in reputable journals and conference proceedings, indices and citations in various databases, altmetric indicators such as electronic repositories and social media engagement, expert involvement in academic and research activities, and attainment of academic titles and honors. The classification of these criteria provides a systematic framework for assessing the multifaceted aspects of pedagogical research effectiveness. Further research prospects involve assigning weight coe fficients to these criteria and developing a methodology that integrates digital technologies to streamline the assessment process.
