Contribution
The goals of the EERQI project are to reinforce and enhance the worldwide visibility and competitiveness of European educational research. More specifically, the project aims to
- develop new indicators and methodologies to determine quality of educational research publications,
- propose a prototype framework for establishing such indicators and methodologies,
- make this framework operational on a multilingual basis (starting with English, German, French and Swedish),
- produce a search and query engine for resource harvesting and text analysis,
- test transferability of the EERQI indicators into other fields in social sciences and the humanities,
develop a sustainability plan for quality assessment of European educational research publications
In this paper the results of the peer-review survey on EERQI quality indicators will be presented.
Method
In three connected presentations, we would like to present the state of the project. The activities in the project are divided into two phases:
1. In the first phase proof of concept specifications was listed and built. traditional indicators were revisited and new indicators were suggested. Ingrid Gogolin, aims and methods
2. The second phase is the testing phase which takes place at present.
A peer review-exercise is carried out in 4 languages.ds and progresses; Christian Rudelt: Results of Peer Review Analysis and Virginia Moukouli: Sustainability Plan.
Expected Outcomes
EERQI is building an advanced prototype framework for relevance assessment of research publications in educational research. This is based on formal mechanisms including citation analysis and linking, semantic-based full text analysis and co-occurrence of information items in open access and non-open access repositories. Journal articles, books and other freely available scholarly publications are included. Educational research has been chosen as an example of research in socially and politically embedded fields within the humanities and social sciences.
