Abstract

The survey of scientific and administrative employees at medical faculties in Germany is part of module 7 „Praktikabilität, Akzeptanz und Verhaltenswirksamkeit“ in the collaborative project „Qualitätsmaße zur Evaluierung medizinischer Forschung“ (QuaMedFo). It was planned and conducted in close cooperation of the German Center for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (DZHW) and the Universitätsmedizin Göttingen (UMG) in the first half of 2021. Data preparation was completed in the second half of 2021. https://doi.org/10.21249/DZHW:qmf2021:1.0.0

Editors between support and control by the digital infrastructure — Tracing the peer review process with data from an editorial management system.

Hartstein, J., & Blümel, C. (2021).
Editors between support and control by the digital infrastructure — Tracing the peer review process with data from an editorial management system. Frontiers in Research Metrics and Analytics (6). https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frma.2021.747562/full (Abgerufen am: 20.10.2021) (online first).
Abstract

Many journals now rely on editorial management systems, which are supposed to support the administration and decision making of editors, while aiming at making the process of communication faster and more transparent to both reviewers and authors. Yet, little is known about how these infrastructures support, stabilize, transform or change existing editorial practices. By exploring process generated data from a publisher’s editorial management system, we investigate the ways by which the digital infrastructure is used and how it represents the different realms of the process of peer review. How does the infrastructure support, strengthen or restrain editorial agency for administrating the process?

Research software versus mundane software: The gap between software usage and software mentioning.

Hartstein, J. (2025, Februar).
Research software versus mundane software: The gap between software usage and software mentioning. Vortrag auf der Konferenz 5th conference for Research Software Engineering in Germany, Karlsruhe.
Abstract

For the vast majority of researchers across disciplines, software use is an everyday practice, and data analysis is not the only way of scientific sensemaking with software. The talk presents survey results showing that research pipelines are populated with diverse types of software – among them software tailored for research purposes („research software“) as well as software covering broader tasks which are not specific to science („mundane software“). Laying the results against recent literature about software mentions in science reveals a gap between using software for research and mentioning it in publications: mundane software is widely used in science but goes often unreported.

Third-party funding data for research evaluation – On assumptions for efficiency measures with data from medical faculties in Germany.

Third-party funding data for research evaluation – On assumptions for efficiency measures with data from medical faculties in Germany. Poster auf der Konferenz The Future of Higher Education and Science, Leibniz Center for Social Sciences, Leibniz-Universität Hannover & German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (DZHW), Hannover.
Abstract

Efficiency measures as indicators for research excellence are less prominent than productivity measures (aka publication counts) and reception measures (aka citation counts), yet they are frequently discussed [...]. For some years now, practitioners and policy makers have discussed including third-party funding data [...] into efficiency measurement – either as input (income, spending) or as output (grants), which leads to the research question of this contribution: Can third-party funding data reasonably be included in efficiency measurement without violating the assumptions of linear models? And which type of TPF count (income, spending, grants) would be most suitable as input or output variable respectively?
