Resumen


La evaluación de las Humanidades y las Ciencias Sociales ha resultado siempre controvertida. En este artículo se revisan los cambios que se están produciendo en las metodologías y enfoques de la evaluación, así como las líneas de trabajo que están marcando estos procesos de evaluación en Europa. Las claves de la evaluación científica en la actualidad pueden resumirse en: 1. Utilización de datos completos sobre producción científica y desarrollo de fuentes de indicadores para revistas y libros académicos, al margen de las bases de datos comerciales; 2. Evaluación más cualitativa y/o con enfoques bottom up; 3. El acceso abierto y su implicación en la evaluación científica; 4. Métricas alternativas y citas abiertas; 5. Métricas responsables; 6. Impacto social de la investigación.
