COST ENRESSH TransWG Meeting (Nov. 5-6, 2018): "Scholarly Books and their Evaluation Context in the Social Sciences and Humanities"

Description

For decades, scholarly monographs/edited books have been relegated to a peripheral, if not absent role in evaluation studies and procedures, although positive changes are now taking effect.

In recent years we have seen an increase in quantitative as well as qualitative research activity surrounding the book -- i.e., edited books, chapters, monographs, textbooks. Still, with many issues related to data access, metadata accuracy, the business of publishing, changes in publishing formats (e.g., open access; electronic publishing) and peer review standards, the evaluation community has more to learn.

This aim of this special interest group workshop is to stimulate further research concerning the "book" whereby original datasets, methods, and measures produce more informative insights for research and education policy.
