We present the measure of quality introduced by the review team of Embrapa to evaluate its research projects. The quality measurement scheme comprises four different dimensions (External Validity, Internal Validity, Institutional Adequacy, and Formal Adequacy). The quality measurements are used as dependent variables in a multivariate effort to identify important factors necessary to improve overall as well as specific quality aspects.
| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 3 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Top 10% | |
