petersuber, 3 months ago Kudos to the Volkswagen Foundation for experimenting with a new kind of #PeerReview for evaluating proposals. https://researchonresearch.org/volkswagen-foundation-introduces-experimental-distributed-peer-review/ I have no opinion (right now) on the new method. I just want to applaud the experiment. The foundation is using its old and new methods side by side for a time and plans to compare the results. More orgs that evaluate research (#journals, #universities, #foundations, #government agencies) should open up to this kind of experiment. #Assessment
