Is the expertise of evaluation panels congruent with the research interests of the research groups: A quantitative approach based on barycenters
作者：
Highlights：
• We present methods to measure overlap of expertise in research evaluation.
• An entity's expertise can be summarized as its barycenter in cognitive space.
• Barycenters can be calculated in two or more dimensions.
• The distance between barycenters is an indicator of cognitive distance and hence expertise overlap.
• The method is applied to two research evaluations at the University of Antwerp.
