Chapter 2 in In Search of Academic Quality, 2015, pp 39-64 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract One, if not the basic evolution occurring in higher education and research involves changes in the ways academic quality is assessed, judged and valuated. In a way, this is the epicentre of the on-going revolution linking the contextual challenges listed earlier in Chapter 1. It kindles endless debates inside the community and fuels ideological arguments; it may even become a nightmare for practitioners.
