Abstract

Abstract A multi-criteria decision-making system based on stakeholder evaluation is performed to investigate the nexus between research impact and sustainability performance in the agro-food sector, in Spain. This study attempts to go a step further beyond the scientific assessment of research by examining its societal contribution. The empirical application is built upon the ELECTRE III methodology. Combining Evaluation theory and Stakeholder theory, the analysis facilitates the assessment of research impact with the inclusion of stakeholders’ knowledge. Four research programmes are selected from different agro-food industries representing the case studies addressed in this study. Each stakeholder performs an evaluation of the research programmes based on indicators and sub-indicators of sustainability performance. The findings reveal ranking matrices of research impact and demonstrate its implicit contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals. This study provides insights to policy-makers and practitioners and sheds light on how research evaluation accentuates the transition to sustainable agro-food sector.

研究影响与可持续性评估的关系:来自利益相关者的视角

基于利益相关者评估的多标准决策系统被执行，以调查研究影响和可持续性绩效之间的关系在农业食品部门，在西班牙。本研究试图通过考察研究的社会贡献，进一步超越对研究的科学评估。实证应用是建立在ELECTRE III方法。结合评价理论和利益相关者理论，在纳入利益相关者知识的情况下，有利于研究影响的评估。从不同的农业食品工业中选择了四个研究方案，代表了本研究中涉及的案例研究。每个利益相关者根据可持续性绩效的指标和分指标对研究方案进行评估。研究结果揭示了研究影响的排名矩阵，并展示了其对可持续发展目标的隐含贡献。这项研究为政策制定者和实践者提供了见解，并阐明了研究评估如何强调向可持续农业食品部门的过渡。

期刊介绍： Research Evaluation is a peer-reviewed, international journal. It ranges from the individual research project up to inter-country comparisons of research performance. Research projects, researchers, research centres, and the types of research output are all relevant. It includes public and private sectors, natural and social sciences. The term "evaluation" applies to all stages from priorities and proposals, through the monitoring of on-going projects and programmes, to the use of the results of research.
