Does reviewing experience reduce disagreement in proposals evaluation? Insights from Marie Skłodowska-Curie and COST Actions
2021
Abstract We have limited understanding of why reviewers tend to strongly disagree when scoring the same research proposal. Thus far, research that explored disagreement has focused on the characteristics of the proposal or the applicants, while ignoring the characteristics of the reviewers themselves. This article aims to address this gap by exploring which reviewer characteristics most affect disagreement among reviewers. We present hypotheses regarding the effect of a reviewer’s level of experience in evaluating research proposals for a specific granting scheme, that is, scheme reviewing experience. We test our hypotheses by studying two of the most important research funding programmes i…

Evaluation: between values and indicators
2017
The article discusses the dilemmas associated with the development of evaluation studies in Poland. These studies are for several years establishing their position and entering into a variety of social areas. Along with their dissemination the approaches and models of evaluation used in these areas differentiate. The practice of evaluation involves difficult choices regarding compliance with the idea of these studies, their usefulness and social functions. On the evaluative field appear significant disparities between different areas of evaluation and alternative models that are not always positive image of this field.
Ex-post evaluation of Territorial Integrated Projects in Italy: an empirical analysis at firm level
2013
This paper focuses on the evaluation of an incentive program for firms implemented in southern Italy during the last decade. In the framework of the policy instruments aimed to reduce territorial disparities, and to support local development, territorial integrated projects (TIP) constituted a new operational mode to implement the Regional Operational Programmes. A TIP is defined as a ?set of inter-sectorial actions, closely consistent and linked among them, which converge towards the common objective of territorial development and justify a unitary implementation approach'. The resources allocated for each TIP may be aimed at three types of interventions such as infrastructures, public act…
Proton Direct Ionization in Sub-Micron Technologies : Test Methodologies and Modelling
2023
Two different low energy proton (LEP) test methods, one with quasi-monoenergetic and the other with very wide proton beam energy spectra, have been studied. The two test methodologies have been applied to devices that were suggested from prior heavy-ion tests to be sensitive to proton direct ionization (PDI). The advantages and disadvantages of the two test methods are discussed. The test method using quasi-monoenergetic beams requires device preparation and high energy resolution beams, but delivers results that can be interpreted directly and can be used in various soft error rate (SER) calculation methods. The other method, using a heavily degraded high energy proton beam, requires littl…
Scheduling under the network of temporo-spatial proximity relationships
2017
We discuss and introduce to the schedulingeld a novel, qualitative optimization model - scheduling under the network of temporo-spatial proximity relationships.We introduce a half perimeter proximity measure as an objective of scheduling.We present and evaluate an incremental Sequence Pair neighborhood evaluation algorithm, applicable to both scheduling and rectangle packing problems in VLSI industry. In this paper, we discuss and introduce to the scheduling field a novel optimization objective - half perimeter proximity measure in scheduling under the network of temporo-spatial proximity relationships. The presented approach enables to qualitatively express various reasons of scheduling ce…
Test commission: Twenty-five years working on test quality
2022
The objective of this paper is to present the activities and projects carried out by the Spanish Test Commission, established by the Spanish Psychological Association to improve the quality and use of tests. The most relevant projects of the commission during its twenty-five years of existence are reviewed, describing the work carried out: a) to understand the opinions and attitudes of psychologists towards the tests, b) to evaluate the quality of the tests published in Spain, and c) to develop standards, guidelines, and ethical and deontological codes to improve testing practices. The commission’s other activities of a formative nature are also highlighted, as well as its relationships wit…

Personnel analysis and its reliability
2014
Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitetään rekrytointi- ja henkilöarviointiyritys MindFit Consulting Oy:n työnhakijoista tekemien henkilöanalyysiraporttien, MindFitin henkilöanalyysien, luotettavuutta. Tarkoitus on tutkia, kuinka yhdenmukaisesti analyysien lukijat ymmärtävät analyysien sisällön. Tutkimuksessa luodaan kyselylomake, jonka avulla eri analyysiraportin lukijat pisteyttävät analyysien sisällön. Lukijoiden antamien pisteiden yhdenmukaisuus mitataan analyysien luotettavuuden (inter-rater reliability) selvittämiseksi. Tutkittavat henkilöanalyysit ovat sanallisia raportteja työnhakijoista. Käytännössä analyysiteksti operationalisoidaan kriteereiksi, jotka voidaan pisteyttää numeerisesti kyselyl…
