Workplan of Marcel Ausloos

The application of bibliometric indicators aims at supporting an effective and objective decision for the best candidate for its
scientific institution. But, if the complex nature of scientific knowledge production and the mathematical feature of used
indicators are insufficiently understood, the effect can be opposite. The research intended in the STSM and subsequent paper
should outline various evaluation criteria and related indicators, with a special focus, as an illustrative example, on practices in the recent Italian academic system. The effect of different criteria are to be discussed, simulating an ‘artificial’ recruitment
process.
