Abstract: The internal scientific evaluation of knowledge claims done by peer review is todayhas for the last

20 years been supplemented by new methods of knowledge assessment. These methods are usually

taken from other sectors such as the public administration and the corporate sector. Because of their

different backgrounds compared to the peer review method, it is necessary to critically examine

them in relation to assessment of quality. But this also calls for a new understanding of science and

knowledge. The article starts by briefly explaining this new understanding, before going into more

details on the new methods of knowledge assessment and the perspectives behind them.
