摘要

关于质量和数量的争论仍然是方法论上的考虑。这两种方法在认识论上是高度对立的，是相互对立的。合理地感知质量和数量的单一复合指标将对性能具有重要意义。本文评估了2020年印度国家机构研究框架(NIRF)活动中出版物质量评估(QP)的综合指标的效力。它还建议在质量测量方面进行潜在的改进，以便通过更精细的调整更合理地获得排名。

Reframing the Debate on Quality vs Quantity in Research Assessment

The debate on quality versus quantity is still persistent for methodological considerations. These two approaches are highly contrasting in their epistemology and contrary to each other. A single composite indicator that reasonably senses both quality and quantity would be significant toward performance. This paper evaluates the potency of the combined metric for quality assessment of publications (QP) in India’s National Institutional Research Framework (NIRF) exercise in 2020. It also suggests a potential improvement in quality measurement to obtain the rankings more rationally with finer tunings.
