Last month I attended a session at KBS on the Future of Research Assessment. I wrote up some notes from this, and particularly the talk by Prof John Mingers, here.
Also speaking at the event was Liz Allen, Director of Strategic Initiatives at F1000. She published some thoughts on it on the F1000 blog, and has kindly allowed me to republish them here.

I recently participated in a workshop hosted by the
University of Kent Business School – the subject was whether metrics or peer
review are the best tools to support research assessment. Thankfully, we
didn’t get embroiled in the sport of ‘metric bashing’, but instead agreed that
one size does not fit all and that whatever research assessment we do, while
taking account of context, needs to be proportionate.
