Evaluation Game in Academia (2018–2023):

Total funding amount: 500,000 EUR (2.14 million PLN).
Funding institution: National Science Centre in Poland
My role:

The main goal of this project is to investigate how copying the regulations of the national research evaluation system in Poland into the local regulations of universities and faculties has produced the parametric game (‘punktoza’ in Polish) and transformed the publication patterns of scholars in the field of social sciences and humanities.

Polish Humanities in the face of the Challenges of Scientometrics (2014–2018)

Total funding amount: 90,000 EUR (0.4 million PLN).

The aim of the project is to investigate how the social sciences and humanities are defined within science policy and how they are evaluated through various scientometric indicators in Poland.
