8.2.2 Objectives and Performance Dimensions

A distinction can be made between purpose and objective of an assessment. A purpose has a more general nature, and tends to be grounded in general notions (e.g., “increase research performance”), whereas objectives are more specific, more formulated in operational terms (e.g., “stimulate international publishing”). Objectives are grounded in assumptions on how they are related to the general purpose (e.g., “it is assumed that by stimulating international publishing, research performance increases, at least in the longer run”).

Table 8.1 presents a list of three main assessment objectives highlighted in the AUBR Report. For each objective it gives the most useful indicators from the set of 28 principal indicators or indicator families included in Table 3.​1 in Sect. 3.​3.Table 8.1The most important indicators informing three main assessment objectives
