Digital Archives and Third Mission: Assessing the Production of Public Goods in the VQR
Digital archives are among the instruments of the Third Mission of universities and research institutions and, within the framework of the Research Quality Assessment (VQR 2020–2024), are considered activities of knowledge valorisation.
In the ongoing VQR 2020–2024, knowledge valorisation activities represent a broad framework, structured into five thematic areas and twenty-five fields of action. A central role is played by the Production and management of public goods, which encompasses the preservation of cultural heritage, the dissemination and accessibility of knowledge, and the promotion of open science.
After a brief introduction to the VQR evaluation framework, the presentation will focus on the criteria and indicators adopted by ANVUR for assessing activities related to the production and management of public goods, with particular attention to the role of digital archives.
