The shift to a market economy in post-communist 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
towards 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 first-hand accounts of the reform process with analyses of
the strengths and weaknesses of both peer review and quantitative
indicators.
