UK Government practice in science and technology evaluation

Research Evaluation, 1993, vol. 3, issue 3, 179-186

Abstract: In the UK the purpose of and approach to evaluation of state activity in science and technology has changed over recent years from a tactical tool, to determine whether programmes have performed their allotted tasks, to a strategic one which investigates the programmes appropriateness. By focusing on three agencies, the development in the methods and use of evaluation is traced and the importance of evaluation for policy-making emphasised. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
