New scientific policy with old evaluation methods? Central European dilemmas

Summary/Abstract: Pál Tamás’s article entitled New scientific policy with old evaluation methods? Central European dilemmas established that at the beginning of the 90s the traditional research and development statistics had become outdated, since they did not reflect the continuing globalization of the processes of research and innovation. The study reviews the indicators of research and innovation and the philosophy of evaluation. It shows that the results of the Community Innovation Survey (CIS) – developed in the mid 90s, and since accepted as a yardstick – are only rarely reflected in the contents of the documents of the national innovation policy, which is due to the fact that the indicators are missing from the modern scientific policy decision framework. The study urges that in the next CIS the Hungarian national data collection should be harmonised with that based on OECD countries’ experience, which could contribute to the establishment of a similar points system for innovation-policy decision-making in Hungary.
