ShareModification of assessment criteria for tenure-eligible lecturers and research in Nursing and Physiotherapy
The changes are to take effect in the 2021 calls.
The Specific Committee for Medical and Health Sciences, of the Research Assessment Committee (CAR), has agreed to modify the assessment criteria for tenure-eligible lecturers and research accreditation. Thus, in the case of lecturer reports, elements are incorporated that allow greater recognition of professional elements as well as scientific publications indexed in Q4 (until now they were not considered). In the case of research accreditation, a specific section has been published setting out the thresholds required for Nursing and Physiotherapy.
These advances are part of the whole process of analysis and reflection carried out by the CAR with regard to particular fields begun in 2016, which are subject to continuous monitoring, in this specific case together with the heads of nursing schools and the Inter-university Council of Catalonia. At the time, the CAR agreed to the establishment of the term particular field, for a temporary period of 3 years, to make a special case of areas that encounter difficulty in reaching the established
accreditation thresholds. This concept, which is exceptional, can also be applied to areas of knowledge that can be considered strategic for the Catalan university system.
The application of these new criteria begins in 2021. For any questions you can contact professorat@aqu.cat.
