Research interest

My main research topic is the quantitative evaluation of institutional research performance. A classification model is developed to assign institutions to groups according to the fields in which these institutions are active. This results in groups of likewise institutions and enhances comparability. It is the lack of comparability that was a problem in many evaluation exercises.
