Gender diversity in STEM remains a significant issue, as the field continues to be a male dominated one, despite increased attention on the subject. This article examines the interplay between gender diversity on projects funded by a major UK research council, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, and the publication activity of a project, as measured by the average journal quality of project publication output, over a 10-year period. The proportion of female representation and leadership on these projects remains very low. For the projects examined as part of this study, over 70% of these projects have no female representation, and less than 15% have a female lead. This study does not find a significant relationship between gender diversity and journal quality output. This study highlights that an important avenue for future work is the development of alternative metrics to assess the performance of research projects in a discipline characterized by very low levels of gender diversity, to fully unpack the impact of project team gender diversity on project output activity.
STEM中的性别多样性仍然是一个重要问题,因为尽管人们越来越关注这一主题,但该领域仍然是男性主导的领域。这篇文章考察了英国主要研究委员会工程与物理科学研究委员会资助的项目的性别多样性与项目出版活动之间的相互作用,以10年内项目出版产出的平均期刊质量来衡量。在这些项目中,女性代表和领导的比例仍然很低。作为本研究的一部分,在这些项目中,超过70%的项目没有女性代表,只有不到15%的项目由女性领导。本研究未发现性别多样性与期刊质量产出之间存在显著关系。这项研究强调,未来工作的一个重要途径是制定替代指标,以评估性别多样性水平极低的学科中研究项目的绩效,并充分揭示项目团队性别多样性对项目产出活动的影响。

Recent decades have seen a major transformation of the Spanish university system caused by changes introduced in the teaching staff evaluation procedure in which research has been prioritized. As a result, there has been a growing interest in studying how these procedures impact the way in which early career academics construct their professional identity. In this vein, this article aims to analyze how the professional identity of this group is constructed and developed in the current context of higher education. To this end, a single case study was conducted, applying a biographical-narrative approach. The results show how professional identity development has become polarized in terms of initial rejection to full acceptance of the demands of modern academia. Consequently, professional practices have also been affected by the prioritization of research over teaching, leading to the development of unethical practices to maintain competitiveness. All of these effects have contributed to high levels of stress and job dissatisfaction. Furthermore, maternity is also seen as an obstacle to female academics’ professional and academic development. Finally, our findings highlight the need for policies that provide full support aimed at helping young researchers live balanced professional lives.
近几十年来,西班牙大学系统发生了重大转变,原因是教学人员评估程序的变化,其中研究已被优先考虑。因此,人们越来越有兴趣研究这些程序如何影响早期职业学者构建职业身份的方式。在此脉络下,本文旨在分析这一群体的职业认同在当前高等教育背景下是如何建构和发展的。为此,本文采用传记叙事的方法,对单个案例进行了研究。研究结果表明,从最初的拒绝到完全接受现代学术界的要求,职业认同的发展是如何两极分化的。因此,专业实践也受到了研究优先于教学的影响,导致了不道德行为的发展,以保持竞争力。所有这些影响都导致了高水平的压力和对工作的不满。此外,母性也被视为女性学者专业和学术发展的障碍。最后,我们的研究结果强调了为帮助年轻研究人员平衡职业生活提供全面支持的政策的必要性。

Translational research policies aim to reshape how biomedical scientists organize, conceive, and conduct science in order to accelerate healthcare improvements and medical innovations. Yet most analyses and evaluations of these initiatives focus on measuring the outputs generated in the different stages of the research process rather than observing scientists’ research practices directly. In this article, we analyze the collaboration networks formed by the biomedical scientists participating in a large translational research initiative. Based on data derived from a large-scale survey, we examine the network configurations established by biomedical scientists to advance their research in the context of the CIBER program—a Spanish flagship initiative aimed at supporting translational research. We adopt an ego-network perspective and draw on three network attributes—network diversity, tie strength, and tie content—to understand how scientists use their interpersonal connections to mobilize tangible and intangible resources and enable the translation of scientific knowledge into practical applications. Our cluster analysis identifies a range of scientist profiles: downstream-oriented scientists, upstream-oriented scientists, and brokering scientists. It shows that the scientists participating in the CIBER program deploy different types of collaborative behavior and engage in a variety of medical innovation activities. This suggests that the results achieved by a research program aimed at supporting collaborative networks will depend on the types of networks in which the participating scientists engage. Consequently, evaluations of these programs need to capture collaboration patterns, and should focus primarily on the collaborative process rather than the outputs that emerge from the collaboration.
转化研究政策旨在重塑生物医学科学家如何组织、构思和开展科学,以加速医疗保健改善和医学创新。然而,对这些计划的大多数分析和评估侧重于衡量在研究过程的不同阶段产生的产出,而不是直接观察科学家的研究实践。在本文中,我们分析了参与大型转化研究计划的生物医学科学家形成的协作网络。基于来自大规模调查的数据,我们研究了生物医学科学家在CIBER项目背景下建立的网络配置,CIBER项目是西班牙旨在支持转化研究的旗舰项目。我们采用自我-网络视角,利用网络多样性、纽带强度和纽带内容这三个网络属性来理解科学家如何利用人际关系调动有形和无形资源,并使科学知识转化为实际应用。我们的聚类分析确定了一系列科学家的概况:面向下游的科学家,面向上游的科学家和中介科学家。研究表明,参与CIBER项目的科学家采用了不同类型的协同行为,参与了多种医学创新活动。这表明,旨在支持协作网络的研究项目所取得的成果将取决于参与的科学家所参与的网络类型。因此,对这些程序的评估需要捕获协作模式,并且应该主要关注协作过程,而不是从协作中产生的输出。

On the societal impact of publicly funded Circular Bioeconomy research in Europe 欧洲公共资助的循环生物经济研究的社会影响

Europe has taken a world leadership position in setting policy priorities for Circular Bioeconomy (CBE) as a key determinant of economic, social, and environmental sustainability. Consequently, European R&D investment in this area keeps growing along with the societal pressure to demonstrate the return of investment of publicly funded projects. Thus, this work presents a pioneering exploratory analysis of the extent to which projects funded at the European level incorporate the policy priorities for which they are being designed in the context of CBE, and how can the impact they are having on society be assessed. Thence, project impact evaluation is carried out in the short- and medium-term, and categorized under Industrial Competitiveness, Sustainable Development, and Community and Public Policies. For this purpose, secondary information was gathered from the European projects database Cordis, as well as primary information through a questionnaire survey of project coordinators. The empirical data collected suggest that European Framework Programmes have been fulfilling their purpose, as they are increasingly societal challenges-driven and market-oriented. This is evidenced by market-related topics addressed in the projects analysed and by the active participation of companies that outnumber academic institutions. As far as impact is concerned, scientific publications continue to be the main result of this type of project in the short-term, whereas in the medium-term social and economic benefits were also identified. Notably, the creation of scientific jobs in the industry, of industrial joint ventures, and the generation of documents to support the improvement of public and EU policies on biobased products.
作为经济、社会和环境可持续性的关键决定因素,欧洲在制定循环生物经济(CBE)的政策重点方面处于世界领先地位。因此,欧洲在这一领域的研发投资随着证明公共资助项目投资回报的社会压力而不断增长。因此,这项工作对欧洲层面资助的项目在多大程度上纳入了CBE背景下设计的政策优先事项,以及如何评估它们对社会的影响进行了开创性的探索性分析。因此,项目影响评估在短期和中期进行,并分为产业竞争力、可持续发展、社区和公共政策。为此,从欧洲项目数据库Cordis收集了次要信息,并通过对项目协调员的问卷调查收集了主要信息。收集到的经验数据表明,欧洲框架方案一直在实现其目标,因为它们越来越受到社会挑战的驱动,并以市场为导向。分析项目中涉及的市场相关主题以及数量超过学术机构的公司的积极参与证明了这一点。就影响而言,科学出版物在短期内仍然是这类项目的主要成果,而在中期也确定了社会和经济效益。值得注意的是,在该行业创造了科学就业机会,建立了工业合资企业,并制定了支持改进公共和欧盟生物产品政策的文件。

Abstract The promise that research and innovation (R&I) will contribute to societally desired changes poses a difficult analytical and evaluative challenge. The aim of this article is to present a framework and a toolset, labelled ASIRPAReal-Time, that aides R&I program and project managers to design and steer R&I activities in real-time towards expected directions. It is based on the analytical concepts, language, and lessons learned from the case studies and the practice of the toolset developed in ASIRPAex post. ASIRPAReal-Time is a formative nested approach that fosters learning processes, coordination, and reflexivity at project and program levels. It is iterative and analyses how intermediate results may lead to reconsidering the vision of the R&I pathways. ASIRPAReal-Time is designed and operationalized through intervention research, mobilizing testbeds (i.e. co-experimentation with potential users) to develop and continuously improve the tools. The toolset is designed to be transferable to, and operationalized by, program and project managers since they have the relevant knowledge related to their field of expertise. This article presents the creation of the framework and management tools, detailing the journey of redesigning a tool in a new use context as well as providing a broader reflection on the tools themselves and their applications.
研究与创新(R&I)将有助于社会期望的变化的承诺提出了一个困难的分析和评估挑战。本文的目的是提供一个框架和一个工具集,标记为ASIRPAReal-Time,它帮助R&I程序和项目经理实时地朝着预期的方向设计和引导R&I活动。它基于分析概念、语言和从ASIRPAex帖子中开发的案例研究和工具集实践中获得的经验教训。ASIRPAReal-Time是一种形成性的嵌套方法,它在项目和计划级别上促进学习过程、协调和反思。它是迭代的,并分析了中间结果如何可能导致重新考虑R&I途径的愿景。ASIRPAReal-Time是通过干预研究、动员测试平台(即与潜在用户共同实验)来设计和操作的,以开发和不断改进工具。该工具集被设计为可转移给规划和项目经理,并由他们操作,因为他们拥有与他们的专业领域相关的知识。本文介绍了框架和管理工具的创建,详细介绍了在新的使用环境中重新设计工具的过程,并对工具本身及其应用程序进行了更广泛的反思。

The rocky road to translational science: An analysis of Clinical and Translational Science Awards 通往转化科学的崎岖之路:临床和转化科学奖的分析

Abstract Studies point out that the productivity decline in biomedicine is in significant part due to difficulties in translating basic science into clinical application. To promote translational research, the US NIH launched the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) program in 2006. Prior evaluations of the CTSA program often assumed that the key to translation is inter-organizational collaboration or multidisciplinarity; hence, changes in either of these were measured as evidence of translational science. However, using novel measures of translational science, this study examines the relationship between CTSAs and translational science per se. We define ‘translational science’ as basic science that has translational features, and we employ two distinct, complementary measures of translational science based on publication data. Using 115 Carnegie R1 universities and their translational science publications, we find that receiving a CTSA does not obviously cause receiving institutions to conduct more translational science. Furthermore, our Principal Investigator-level analysis shows that those who received direct support from the CTSA program had already generated more translational science than others and that their research behavior did not change significantly after receiving a CTSA. Future evaluation research can adopt our novel measures of translational science and evaluation research design in the assessment of translational research activities. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of the implications of our findings for science governance.
摘要研究指出,生物医学生产力的下降在很大程度上是由于基础科学难以转化为临床应用。为了促进转化研究,美国国立卫生研究院于2006年启动了临床与转化科学奖(CTSA)项目。先前对CTSA项目的评估通常认为翻译的关键是组织间合作或多学科;因此,这两方面的变化都被视为转化科学的证据。然而,本研究使用新的转化科学测量方法,考察了CTSAs与转化科学本身之间的关系。我们将“转化科学”定义为具有转化特征的基础科学,并基于出版数据采用两种截然不同的互补方法来衡量转化科学。通过对115所卡内基R1大学及其转化科学出版物的研究,我们发现,获得CTSA并不会明显导致接受机构开展更多的转化科学研究。此外,我们的主要研究者水平的分析表明,那些接受CTSA计划直接支持的人已经比其他人产生了更多的转化科学,并且他们的研究行为在接受CTSA后没有显着改变。未来的评价研究可以在评价转化研究活动时采用我们的新转化科学措施和评价研究设计。最后,我们讨论了我们的研究结果对科学治理的影响。

Abstract A multi-criteria decision-making system based on stakeholder evaluation is performed to investigate the nexus between research impact and sustainability performance in the agro-food sector, in Spain. This study attempts to go a step further beyond the scientific assessment of research by examining its societal contribution. The empirical application is built upon the ELECTRE III methodology. Combining Evaluation theory and Stakeholder theory, the analysis facilitates the assessment of research impact with the inclusion of stakeholders’ knowledge. Four research programmes are selected from different agro-food industries representing the case studies addressed in this study. Each stakeholder performs an evaluation of the research programmes based on indicators and sub-indicators of sustainability performance. The findings reveal ranking matrices of research impact and demonstrate its implicit contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals. This study provides insights to policy-makers and practitioners and sheds light on how research evaluation accentuates the transition to sustainable agro-food sector.
基于利益相关者评估的多标准决策系统被执行,以调查研究影响和可持续性绩效之间的关系在农业食品部门,在西班牙。本研究试图通过考察研究的社会贡献,进一步超越对研究的科学评估。实证应用是建立在ELECTRE III方法。结合评价理论和利益相关者理论,在纳入利益相关者知识的情况下,有利于研究影响的评估。从不同的农业食品工业中选择了四个研究方案,代表了本研究中涉及的案例研究。每个利益相关者根据可持续性绩效的指标和分指标对研究方案进行评估。研究结果揭示了研究影响的排名矩阵,并展示了其对可持续发展目标的隐含贡献。这项研究为政策制定者和实践者提供了见解,并阐明了研究评估如何强调向可持续农业食品部门的过渡。

Abstract Evaluation systems have been long criticized for abusing and misusing bibliometric indicators. This has created a culture by which academics are constantly exposing their daily work to the standards they are expected to perform. In this study, we investigate whether researchers’ own values and expectations are in line with the expectations of the evaluation system. We conduct a multiple case study of five departments in two Dutch universities to examine how they balance between their own valuation regimes and the evaluation schemes. For this, we combine curriculum analysis with a series of semi-structured interviews. We propose a model to study the diversity of academic activities and apply it to the multiple case study to understand how such diversity is shaped by discipline and career stage. We conclude that the observed misalignment is not only resulting from an abuse of metrics but also by a lack of tools to evaluate performance in a contextualized and adaptable way.
评价体系因滥用文献计量指标而饱受诟病。这创造了一种文化,在这种文化中,学者们不断地将他们的日常工作暴露在他们被期望执行的标准之下。在本研究中,我们考察了研究者自身的价值观和期望是否与评价体系的期望相符。我们对两所荷兰大学的五个系进行了多个案例研究,以检查他们如何在自己的评估制度和评估计划之间取得平衡。为此,我们将课程分析与一系列半结构化面试相结合。我们提出了一个研究学术活动多样性的模型,并将其应用于多案例研究,以了解这种多样性是如何被学科和职业阶段所塑造的。我们得出的结论是,观察到的不一致不仅是由于度量标准的滥用,也是由于缺乏以情境化和可适应的方式评估性能的工具。

Abstract It is important for funding agencies to evaluate if scientists accomplish their research goals. By comparing a representative sample of National Science Foundation abstracts and project outcome reports (PORs) from 2014 to 2017, this article investigates whether scientists attain the broader impacts they propose. We find that the number of broader impacts proposed in the abstracts is significantly higher than the number of broader impacts reported in the PORs. The trend is common across directorates and type of impact, except when impacts serve advantaged groups. Only the number of broader impacts for advantaged groups increases from the abstract to the POR. Despite the difference between proposed impact and reported impact, our study does not conclude that scientists are delinquent or disingenuous when they propose their research. Rather, we question the capacity of current frameworks to capture the quality of impacts and to weigh the relative importance of impacts that serve marginalized groups versus those that sustain the status quo.
资助机构评估科学家是否完成了他们的研究目标是很重要的。通过比较2014年至2017年美国国家科学基金会摘要和项目成果报告(por)的代表性样本,本文调查了科学家是否实现了他们提出的更广泛的影响。我们发现,摘要中提出的更广泛影响的数量明显高于报告中报告的更广泛影响的数量。这种趋势在各个部门和影响类型之间都很普遍,除非影响服务于优势群体。只有对优势群体的更广泛影响的数量从抽象的增加到穷人。尽管建议的影响和报告的影响之间存在差异,但我们的研究并没有得出科学家在提出他们的研究时是犯罪或不诚实的结论。相反,我们质疑目前的框架是否有能力捕捉影响的质量,以及是否有能力权衡为边缘群体服务的影响与维持现状的影响的相对重要性。
