Faculty who are interested in leading grants, education and outreach projects, and other initiatives need evidence to make data-based decisions and demonstrate successes. Evaluations are essential for supporting these efforts and are often required to obtain funding. In fact, a strong evaluation plan within a proposal…

This article is part of a series on Primary Care Research in the African context and focuses on programme evaluation. Different types of programme evaluation are outlined: developmental, process, outcome and impact. Eight steps to follow in designing your programme evaluation are then described in some detail: engage…

A broad current application of algorithms is in formal and quantitative measures of murky concepts – like merit – to make decisions. When people strategically respond to these sorts of evaluations in order to gain favorable decision outcomes, their behavior can be subjected to moral judgments. They may be described as…

Evaluation is the foundation of empirical science, yet the evaluation of evaluation itself – so-called meta-evaluation – remains strikingly underdeveloped. While methods such as observational studies, design of experiments (DoE), and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shaped modern scientific practice, there has…

Background The vital role of evaluation as integral to program planning and program development is well supported in the literature, yet we find little evidence of this in health promotion practice. Evaluation is often a requirement for organisations supported by public funds, and is duly undertaken, however the…

Bayesian optimization (BO) has become increasingly important for experimental optimization across scientific domains, yet implementing BO pipelines requires significant programming expertise and familiarity with specialized frameworks. This creates a barrier for domain experts who could benefit from BO but lack the…

Background The implementation of public policies requires special attention from public authorities to ensure their transparency, effectiveness and efficiency. For this reason, efforts to evaluate the abovementioned politics gained attention and importance. Similar processes, by their very nature, are also noticeable…

Background Few published articles provide a comprehensive overview of the available evidence on the topic of evaluating competency-based medical education (CBME) curricula. The purpose of this review is therefore to synthesize the available evidence on the evaluation practices for competency-based curricula employed in…

A method for data review in chemical sciences with a focus on data for the characterization of synthetic molecules is described. As current procedures for data curation in chemistry rely almost exclusively on manual checking or peer reviewing, a (semi-)automatic procedure for the evaluation of data assigned to…

'Muhua Huang' 'Peng Zhang' 'Tun Lu' 'Zhicheng Dou' 'Maosong Sun' 'Xing Xie'] As Large Language Models (LLMs) achieve remarkable breakthroughs, aligning their values with humans has become imperative for their responsible development and customized applications. However, there still lack evaluations of LLMs values that…

This scoping review identified 11 studies that described an evaluation framework, criteria and/or process developed for PM programs. From the synthesis of these papers, the strengths and limitations, as well as overlapping concepts and themes were synthesized and analyzed to inform the development of a comprehensive…

—Many evaluation methods have been used to assess the usefulness of Visual Analytics (VA) solutions. These methods stem from a variety of origins with different assumptions and goals, which cause confusion about their proofing capabilities. Moreover, the lack of discussion about the evaluation processes may limit our…

In this research to assess emotions from biometric signals, participants are asked to evaluate the emotions they subjectively experienced in order to confirm whether the assumed emotions were actually elicited. However, the evaluation of emotions is not routinely performed in daily life, and it is possible that this…

What drives us to search for creative ideas, and why does it feel good to find one? While previous studies demonstrated the positive influence of motivation on creative abilities, how reward and subjective values play a role in creativity remains unknown. This study proposes to characterize the role of individual…

Today, most research evaluation frameworks are designed to assess mature projects with well-defined data and clearly articulated outcomes. Yet, few, if any, are equipped to evaluate the promise of early-stage biotechnology research, which is inherently characterized by limited evidence, high uncertainty, and evolving…

The dependence of life scientists on software has steadily grown in recent years. For many tasks, researchers have to decide which of the available bioinformatics software are more suitable for their specific needs. Additionally researchers should be able to objectively select the software that provides the highest…

With the increasingly more important role of machine learning (ML) models in chemical research, the need for putting a level of confidence to the model predictions naturally arises. Several methods for obtaining uncertainty estimates have been proposed in recent years but consensus on the evaluation of these have yet…

Chemical reaction optimization (RO) is an iterative process that results in large and high-dimensional datasets. Current tools only allow for limited analysis and understanding of parameter spaces, making it hard for scientists to review or follow changes throughout the process. With the recent emergence of using…
