Comparative analysis of a set of bibliometric indicator and central peer review criteria Evaluation of condensed matter physics in the Netherlands

摘要

In this paper first results are presented of a study on the correlation between bibliometric indicators and the outcomes of peer judgements made by expert committees of physics in the Netherlands. As a first step to study these outcomes in more detail, we focus on the results of an evaluation of 56 research programmes in condensed matter physics in the Netherlands, a subfield which accounts for roughly one third of the total of Dutch physics. This set of research programmes is represented by a volume of more than 5000 publications and nearly 50,000 citations.
