UNIFI working-group’s SWOT analysis of a publication forum-based system_

StrengthsWeaknesses
  • promotes quality

  • burdensome expert-panel organisation

  • quality defined by research community

  • panels tie human resources

  • sensitive to different publishing practices

  • requires harmonization of publication data

  • could be established e.g. only for SSH fields

  • renewal of field-classification (in Finland)

  • transparent indication of quality

  • validity may differ between fields

  • takes into account quantity and quality

  • comprehensive information for all fields

  • dynamic system that can be updated

OpportunitiesThreats
  • current data about research quality

  • experts privilege channels of national interest

  • supports research assessments

  • over quality in ratings

  • steering and management

  • ensuring commensurability

  • field and subfield specific analyses

  • difficult to reach consensus about ratings
