Transforming Research Excellence: New Ideas from the Global South

by Erika Kraemer-Mbula, Robert Tijssen, Matthew Wallace

About this book

Erika Kraemer-Mbula, Robert Tijssen, Matthew Wallace and Robert McLean edit a collection about the meaning and evaluation of research excellence. The book brings perspectives from the Global South into debates about how research is supported and assessed.

Contributors consider institutional contexts, indicators, research quality and the relationships between scholarship and its uses. Case studies and conceptual chapters examine the limits of applying a single model of excellence across different settings. The volume is directed toward researchers, evaluators and people involved in shaping research systems.
