Assessing evaluation procedures for individual researchers: The case of the Italian National Scientific Qualification

作者:

Highlights:

• We analyze the application forms and final reports of the first Italian National Scientific Qualification.

• We use simple text metrics to study whether final reports provide useful feedback to the applicants.

• We argue that the ASN only partially follow the recommended best practices for the correct use of bibliometric indicators for the evaluation of individuals.
