What criteria do you propose to evaluate performance? And how do you plan to compare the performance between different sciences or different areas in some science?
- KKKKkkkk1 11y agoGood point. The NSF somehow manages to do this, although I'm sure it doesn't always do it well. Other than individual sports, I don't think there's a field of human endeavor that has a perfect system for measuring performance.
- _delirium 11y agoPart of the problem is that an imperfect measure often isn't better than no measure, unless you're very careful about how the measurement is used. You end up with people devoting huge amounts of resources to gaming the metrics, which produces worse outcomes than even not evaluating people at all would.
