Incentivising, excluding, and enduring
Performance-based funding systems (PBFSs) are widely used to steer national research, but their effects vary significantly, particularly in countries with emerging research ecosystems. Relatively little attention has been paid to PBFSs and their concomitant policy dynamics in these countries, where the pressure to internationalise creates unique challenges. This paper presents a detailed study of the development of the Lithuanian PBFS from 2005 t…
Multi-actor Policy Dynamics in Research Evaluation
Si ce n'est pas nous, alors qui ? Si ce n'est pas maintenant, ce sera quand
L'article part d'un appel de doctorant·es et chercheur·euses concernant les STS et l'activisme. Il s'efforce de faire avancer la discussion et questionne la tendance des collègues à donner la priorité aux débats théoriques plutôt qu'à l'action. En revenant sur les STS Handbooks, il explore ensuite le développement historique des STS, en soulignant les changements dans la perception de l'activisme au sein du domaine. Il aborde l'évolution de la re…
Expanding Research Integrity
Research integrity (RI) is usually discussed in terms of responsibilities that individual researchers bear towards the scientific work they conduct, as well as responsibilities that institutions have to enable those individual researchers to do so. In addition to these two bearers of responsibility, a third category often surfaces, which is variably referred to as culture and practice . These notions merit further development beyond a residual ca…
Algorithmic Allocation
Marketization and quantification have become ingrained in academia over the past few decades. The trust in numbers and incentives has led to a proliferation of devices that individualize, induce, benchmark, and rank academic performance. As an instantiation of that trend, this article focuses on the establishment and contestation of ‘algorithmic allocation’ at a Dutch university medical centre. Algorithmic allocation is a form of data-driven auto…
Incentivization
Incentives are so widespread and seemingly so insignificant that we might simply take them at face value and fail to ask how we can account for their emergence and proliferation. Building upon Foucault’s notion of ‘problematization’ as a mode of reading history, this paper questions the taken-for-granted place that incentives have come to acquire in our current reflections and practices. To do so, it returns to the late nineteenth and early twent…
Microeconomic forecasting
According to economists from the Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis, the introduction of performance pay for primary and secondary school teachers would lead to an increase in Dutch GDP of one-and-a-half percent in 2070. A new epistemic practice of microeconomic forecasting undergirded this attempt to make the distant future part of the political present. Taking the construction of the economic growth potential of performance pay as …
