Research evaluation involves assessing the quality, impact, and value of research outputs and activities. This can include evaluating the significance of research findings, the rigor of the research methods used, the contribution of the research to a particular field or discipline, and the broader societal or economic impact of the research. Research evaluation may be conducted by funding agencies, academic institutions, government bodies, or other organizations to make decisions about funding, promotion, or policy development. This process often involves the use of metrics, peer review, and expert judgment to assess the quality and impact of research.
