Les évaluations de la recherche : tensions et unification - Paris : ENA, 2004
National evaluation practices are very heterogeneous. However, the internationalisation of research, particularly within European space, tends to play a homogenising role. The introduction of a result rationale in budgetary procedures in the majority of developed countries has a mechanical impact on the development of evaluation and in particular on the chosen indicators. In the same way, methods are becoming more unified : self-evaluation is now part of all evaluation systems. The secondary effects of this growing trend towards evaluation in the framework of piloting by performance (concentration of resources in only a few centres of excellence, risk of discouraging the spirit innovation due to a budgetary approach) depend on government decisions
