Metamorphoses and performativity. Tranformative R&I Policies and the Norm(alis)ing Effect of Societal Impact.Moawad, L., & Schendzielorz, C. (2022).Metamorphoses and performativity. Tranformative R&I Policies and the Norm(alis)ing Effect of Societal Impact. In Schuch (fteval) et al. (Hrsg.), fteval Journal for Research and Technology Policy Evaluation. Proceedings of the REvaluation Conference 2021/2022 (S. 85-96). Vienna: fteval Österreichische Plattform für Forschungs- und Technologiepolitikevaluierung. Abstract
In 2014, UK higher education institutions implemented a new system for assessing the quality of research, the Research Excellence Framework (REF) and took the opportunity to introduce "impact beyond academia" as a 'new' assessment criterion. Transformation and innovation-oriented R&I policy are roughly similar in Norway and the Netherlands regarding underlying ideas as well as timing. In occasion of this convergence this article tackles the discursive and performative construction of “societal impact” as a metamorphic constantly changing, transforming, and evolving criterion. |

The rise of the guest editor—Discontinuities of editorship in scholarly publishing.Knöchelmann, M., Hesselmann, F., Reinhart, M., & Schendzielorz, C.

Scholarly publishing lives on traditioned terminology that gives meaning to subjects such as authors, inhouse editors and external guest editors, artifacts such as articles, journals, special issues, and collected editions, or practices of acquisition, selection, and review. These subjects, artifacts, and practices ground the constitution of scholarly discourse. And yet, the meaning ascribed to each of these terms shifts, blurs, or is disguised as publishing culture shifts, which becomes manifest in new digital publishing technology, new forms of publishing management, and new forms of scholarly knowledge production. As a result, we may come to over- or underestimate changes in scholarly communication based on traditioned [...] |
