Synopsis

Discover why counting outputs isn’t enough to measure R&D productivity. This nonfiction work examines a focused experiment at the National Bureau of Standards and what it means for evaluating research and development programs.

The study combines several approaches to productivity, including work sampling, communications analysis, and value-based criteria for selecting and ranking programs. It also builds a rating system and a model of the R&D process to test how well traditional output counts reflect real impact.

• Shows why simple counts of publications, citations, and talks can fail as productivity measures


• Explains how formal planning and monitoring can support better program decisions


• Describes multiple methods used to assess outputs, impact, and value in R&D


• Offers a framework for evaluating programs without over-promising results

Ideal for readers of research management, policy discussions on science funding, and practitioners seeking practical evaluation tools.
