Brief Communication: The Czech system of evaluation of science research handicaps interdisciplinary science
Abstrakt
The system of evaluation of scientific outputs in the Czech Republic has been established by viewing all outputs which are registered in the database called Information Register of R&D results. Every output gets some points which are allocated to individual authors and institutions.
The procedure is established in the matarial called Methodology of Evaluation of Research Organizations and Evaluation of Finished Programmes (valid for an actual year or years). This article would like to show how one changeover in the algorithm which was carried out between the years 2009 and 2010 handicap interdisciplinary science.
As an example, the data about publications from Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Science are used. The data from more or less interdisciplinary disciplines are compared using the algorithm from different versions of methodology.
The results show that the changeover in handicaps interdisciplinarity and mainly publications in prestigous journals.
