Abstract
During the last 20 years, science policy-making has taken to evaluation as an instrument for
assessing research projects, programmes and even entire research institutes or faculties. This
article examines key elements of the evaluation systems in the United Kingdom (Research
Assessment Exercise), the Netherlands (Standard Evaluation Protocol) and Germany (Leibniz
Association’s Evaluation Procedure) and the extent to which evaluations serve as an instrument
of organizational development for the scientific bodies being evaluated. Evaluations are often
mistrusted – particularly in Germany’s public discourse – as a Trojan horse of policy-making
infiltrating the science system. However, our findings demonstrate that peer-review based
evaluations can be an authoritative source of validation employed by scientific institutes to develop
or optimize institutional strategies. Against this backdrop, we conclude with recommendations
of how institutional evaluations may be further developed and how processes of organizational
transformation can be supported in the research landscape.

ABSTRAKSepanjang 20 tahun, senior Sains telah mengambil penilaian sebagai instrumen bagimenilai projek-projek penyelidikan, program dan institusi-institusi penyelidikan bahkan seluruh atau Fakulti. IniArtikel mengkaji elemen-elemen penting dalam sistem penilaian di United Kingdom (PenyelidikanPelaksanaan penilaian), Belanda (Penilaian Standard protokol) dan Jerman (diterbitkanProsedur penilaian Persatuan) dan sejauh mana penilaian berkhidmat sebagai instrumenpembangunan organisasi bagi badan-badan saintifik yang sedang dinilai. Penilaian akan seringmistrusted antara satu – terutamanya dalam wacana awam Jerman – sebagai kuda Trojan seniorinfiltrating sistem Sains. Walau bagaimanapun, dapatan kami menunjukkan bahawa rakan sebaya-kajian berdasarkanpenilaian boleh menjadi sumber berwibawa bagi validasi yang digunakan oleh institusi-institusi saintifik untuk memperkembangkanatau mengoptimumkan strategi institusi. Berlatarbelakangkan keadaan ini, kita menyimpulkan dengan cadangan-cadangandaripada penilaian bagaimana institusi boleh terus dibangunkan dan bagaimana proses organisasiTransformasi dapat disokong dalam landskap penyelidikan.
