Featuring the results of a survey of 400 global academic leaders, funders, and researchers, Back to Earth examines perspectives on research evaluation systems, impediments to change, and who is best placed to evolve current systems.

What you will learn:

  • A latent impetus — there is a clear global trend towards more holistic research assessment, but many say change should happen faster

  • Barriers to change — what are the factors slowing progress the most?

  • A way forward — who is best-placed to lead change, and what are acceptable trade-offs?
