- Qualitative assessments (e.g., peer reviews, research significance)
- Use of bibliometric tools and databases
- Benchmarking against institutional or disciplinary standards
- Tracking research impact over time
Pros
- Provides objective measures to assess research performance
- Helps identify strengths and areas for improvement
- Supports funding decisions and resource allocation
- Encourages productivity and accountability
- Facilitates recognition of impactful work
Cons
- Overreliance on quantitative metrics may undervalue quality and innovation
- Potential for metric manipulation or gaming
- May incentivize quantity over quality
- Can overlook interdisciplinary or non-traditional research outputs
- Assessment may not fully capture societal or practical impact
