Abstract: This paper looks at the increasing trend around the world to evaluate the quantity and quality of universities’ research output. Evaluations can provide a useful role in clarifying the performance of university research, and give incentives to increase research output and quality because of increased competition between institutions. Methods of evaluating university research output deployed across countries are discussed.

Il y a une tendance croissante dans le monde à évaluer la quantité et la qualité de la recherche universitaire. Les évaluations clarifient la performance des universités, et peuvent fournir des incitations à augmenter la qualité et la quantité de la recherche en augmentant la concurrence entre les institutions. L’auteur examine les différentes approches couramment utilisées dans le monde pour évaluer la recherche universitaire.
