Product Description The shift to a market economy in postcommunist Eastern Europe has had a profound impact on science and scientists across the region, leading to reforms in research management practices and to drastic cuts in funding levels everywhere.Many countries are moving to a system of competitive research grants awarded on the basis of peer review. The introduction of peer review is not simply a technical matter. It signifies a fundamental change in the social structure of science, enhancing professional autonomy and giving working scientists a voice in the allocation of resources. This book combines firsthand accounts of the reform process with analyses of the strengths and weaknesses of both peer review and quantitative indicators. Review 'Important and essential reading for those interested in the transformation of science in the region.'Research Policy About the Author Jane Cave is freelance researcher.
