科研项目的元评价:不同的被拒与获奖申请的比较方法

A Meta-evaluation of Scientific Research Proposals: Different Ways of Comparing Rejected to Awarded Applications

Lutz Bornmann, Loet Leydesdorff, Peter van den Besselaar

摘要:

将不同的数据集与提交给两个著名资助机构的赠款和奖学金申请信息相结合,我们能够将他们的资助决定(奖励和拒绝)与两个科学领域(生命科学和社会科学)的科学计量绩效指标进行比较。这些数据集涉及社会科学领域的671项应用和生命科学领域的668项应用。在这两个领域,获奖申请人的平均表现优于所有被拒绝的申请人。如果在这两个领域中只考虑最杰出的被拒绝的申请人,他们在引用影响力方面的得分高于获奖者。关于生产力,我们发现不同领域之间的差异:虽然生命科学的获奖者平均表现优于最杰出的被拒绝的申请人,但社会科学的情况正好相反。

英文摘要:

Combining different data sets with information on grant and fellowship applications submitted to two renowned funding agencies, we are able to compare their funding decisions (award and rejection) with scientometric performance indicators across two fields of science (life sciences and social sciences). The data sets involve 671 applications in social sciences and 668 applications in life sciences. In both fields, awarded applicants perform on average better than all rejected applicants. If only the most preeminent rejected applicants are considered in both fields, they score better than the awardees on citation impact. With regard to productivity we find differences between the fields: While the awardees in life sciences outperform on average the most preeminent rejected applicants, the situation is reversed in social sciences.
