It focuses on what constitutes research excellence and the mechanisms to evaluate it. While the concepts discussed are useful to researchers and research institutions concerned with how to evaluate the quality of research in any field, the literature review has a special focus on research for development. Where research impact is understood as beyond the academic impact, the questions focus on how to measure impact and on who should perform it.Text1 digital file (29 p. : ill.)application/pdfenRESEARCH QUALITYPROGRAMME EVALUATIONEVALUATION TECHNIQUESAID INSTITUTIONSDEVELOPMENT RESEARCHDEVELOPMENT POLICYRESEARCH CENTRESQUALITY STANDARDSRESEARCH CAPACITYRESEARCH QUALITY PLUSRESEARCH TO POLICYGLOBALIDRC-Related Report
