“…Second, the ineffective research evaluation system can be identified as the main reason for the emergence of the RE dark effects. Typically, ineffectiveness arises when research evaluation systems are not subject-area/country-specific ( [4], [16], [19], [20], [26], [32], [33], [35], [41], [42]) or are not balanced to specific public needs ( [12], [15], [19], [26], [31], [38], [42]), do not account for the available scientific infrastructure ( [3], [8], [32], [35], [46]) or place too much emphasis on quantity rather than quality ( [14], [15], [17], [19], [20], [23], [30], [31], [32], [34], [36], [37], [48]).…”

“…Poorly formulated, implemented or distorted science policy, university or national, is another important cause of the RE dark effects ( [10], [33], [38], [55]). Other reasons that can be pointed out address university, publisher or funding management issues ( [7], [8], [14], [17], [22], [31], [33], [44]), insufficient scientific infrastructure ( [3], [11], [35], [46]), poorly structured or outdated research systems ( [8], [15], [22], [26], [30], [32], [34], [35], [38]), subject behaviour issues ( [4], [5], [23], [27], [30], [32], [37], [39], [46]), etc.…”

What is Behind the Shine? The Dark Side of Research Evaluation: A Conceptual Framework

Research evaluation (RE) is presently a widely discussed and prominent subject within the academic community. This article provides a conceptual framework that categorizes the dark side of RE and provides strategies to diminish it. At its core, this framework includes a generic model summarizing RE dark effects and anti-dark effects remedies and elucidating their relations. Four research questions were raised regarding the research interest in the dark side of RE, the nature of the dark effects of RE and remedies for them, their literature prominence, and whether it is possible to create a well-founded model for mitigating the dark side of RE. Theoretically, this framework is based on concepts of the philosophy of science. Methodologically, a structured literature review, methods of expert judgment, analysis and synthesis, and a sampler of 35 articles underpin it. Stakeholder and logical approaches were applied for classification. The suggested framework is the first in-depth attempt to elucidate the dark side of RE and how to mitigate it. In practical terms, the framework can be incorporated into university/government RE systems to “enlighten”/control their dark side, thereby improving the academic governance toolkit. It can also be used to develop subject-area/country-specific models for the dark side of RE.

“…The Ukrainian national research evaluation is rather unsystematic and heavily relies on simple quantitative indicators, without considering the specific context of each discipline. This is particularly important for A&H (Hladchenko, 2022;Nazarovets, 2022). Despite the significance attributed to quantitative data and the unprecedented reliance of Ukrainian officials on indicators derived from these key citation databases, a comprehensive quantitative analysis of Ukrainian humanitarian studies has not yet been conducted.…”

PurposeThis article presents the results of a quantitative analysis of Ukrainian arts and humanities (A&H) research from 2012 to 2021, as observed in Scopus. The overall publication activity and the relative share of A&H publications in relation to Ukraine's total research output, comparing them with other countries. The study analyzes the diversity and total number of sources, as well as the geographic distribution of authors and citing authors, to provide insights into the internationalization level of Ukrainian A&H research. Additionally, the topical spectrum and language usage are considered to complete the overall picture.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses the Scopus database as the primary data source for analyzing the general bibliometric characteristics of Ukrainian A&H research. All document types, except Erratum, were considered. A language filter was applied to compare the bibliometric characteristics of English versus non-English publications. In addition to directly imported data from Scopus, the study employs the ready-to-use SciVal tools to operate with A&H subcategories and calculate additional bibliometric characteristics, such as Citations per Publication (CPP), Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) and journal quartiles. Information on the country of journal publishers and details on delisted journals from Scopus were obtained from the official Source Title List available on the Elsevier website and the SCImago Journal and Country Rank Portal.FindingsAccording to the results obtained, the publication patterns for Ukrainian A&H research exhibit dynamics comparable to those of other countries, with a gradual increase in the total number of papers and sources. However, the citedness is lower than expected, and the share of publications in top-quartile sources is lower for 2020–2021 period compared to the previous years. The impact of internationally collaborative papers, especially those in English, is higher. Nevertheless, over half of all works remain uncited, probably due to the limited readership of the journals selected for publication.Originality/valueThis study provides original insights into the bibliometric characteristics of Ukrainian A&H publications between 2012 and 2021, as assessed using the Scopus database. The authors’ findings reveal that Ukraine's A&H publications have higher visibility than some Asian countries with similar population sizes. However, in comparison to other countries of similar size, Ukraine's research output is smaller. The authors also discovered that cultural and historical similarities with neighboring countries play a more significant role in publication activity than population size. This study highlights the low integration of Ukrainian A&H research into the global academic community, evident through a decline in papers published in influential journals and poor citedness. These findings underscore the importance for authors to prioritize disseminating research in influential journals, rather than solely focusing on indexing in particular databases.

“…In 2021, scholars from CEE nations (including Ukraine) published 28% of their SCI/SSCI articles in MDPI journals; this percentage was higher than the combined percentage of papers published by the two largest academic publishers in the world, Elsevier and Springer Nature [21]. A majority of journals published by MDPI are listed in the Scopus bibliographic database, which is used for the evaluation of researchers in many countries, including Ukraine [22,23]. Previous bibliographic studies have used the bibliographic data from Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) journals [24,25].…”

This paper analyzes the impact of the ongoing war in Ukraine on the productivity and collaboration networks of Ukrainian academics. As a case study, we analyze the publication patterns in open-access MDPI journals using bibliographic analysis methods and compare the research output published in 2022 with research papers published in the three preceding years (2019–2021) with at least one author having an Ukrainian affiliation. A total of 2365 publications were analyzed. The identified publication trends provide an interesting insight into the dynamics of the research network of Ukrainian researchers, which demonstrated a decline in diversity of international collaborations in 2022. The findings of this study emphasize the necessity of international research collaboration in a variety of fields in order to mitigate the detrimental effects of national crises and emergencies.
