Résumé
L’évaluation de la performance institutionnelle et individuelle de la recherche s’est trouvée des assisses objectives et mesurables dans la bibliométrie. Les agences gouvernementales s’y remettent pour justifier la répartition des fonds de recherche, les universités pour évaluer ses chercheurs, les chercheurs pour décrocher un emploi ou la titularisation. La macro et la micro-évaluation se distinguent par des méthodes d’agrégation des données et par des indicateurs spécifiques. Les bibliothèques universitaires québécoises cherchent, à tâtons, à comprendre les attentes à leur endroit en matière de bibliométrie évaluative et à développer les compétences nécessaires pour les combler.
Abstract
The evaluation of institutional and individual research performance has found an objective and measurable basis in bibliometrics. Government agencies rely on it to justify the allocation of research funds, universities to evaluate their researchers, and researchers to secure employment or tenure. Macro and micro evaluation are distinguished by methods of aggregating data and by specific indicators. Quebec university libraries are groping to understand what is expected of them in terms of evaluative bibliometrics and to develop the necessary skills to meet these expectations.
