Quality and Relevance

Research in the humanities has a distinctive character that often requires different criteria of quality and relevance. The SEP 2021-2027 provides ample room to highlight these unique aspects, but there is a need for argumentation and sound substantiation backed up by robust data.

The documents on this page can help:

  • to clarify a unit’s position, mission and strategy and place it in the broader context of humanities research;
  • to justify the selection of certain indicators;
  • to justify the choices made and results achieved in relation to Open Science and Open Access.
