SOM criteria for output assessment
General Requirements |
||||
To qualify for the status of SOM (associate) fellow, a faculty member of FEB has
Researchers qualifying for research time are expected to publish in journals in the field of Economics and Business. When journals outside those fields are used and lead to disproportional amounts of credits being earned, the SOM Board may take measures . Every year (in the spring) the SOM office checks whether or not SOM researchers meet the criteria, and establishes, in cooperation with the programme directors and the faculty board, the corresponding percentage of the research time for the upcoming academic year. New researchers, who aspire a SOM status, need a formal appointment by the SOM Board. |

Method used |

For specific details please check the summary table |
||||
Correction for part-time appointment and other specific situations |
||||
If someone has a part-time appointment the criteria are adjusted as follows:
Correction for part-time appointment only applies to researchers who do not have another appointment at UOG, another university or a research institution. If someone has less time available during a certain period due to specific situations like illness or maternity leave the required number of points will be adjusted, upon request to the SOM Board |
||||
Transitional arrangements |
||||
In 2017 researchers can choose to use the new system or use the old criteria for a period of two years, implying that the new criteria will be applicable to all researchers in the spring of 2019. In the rare case an individual is negatively affected by this arrangement, a transitional period of three years can be granted. Once chosen for the new criteria it is not possible to switch back to the old criteria. Negative side effects of the new system may be repaired using the additional research time. |
||||
Corresponding research time |
||||
An individual’s research time is determined by the number of credits, using the following cut-off values:
|
||||
Validity |
||||
These criteria were approved by the SOM Board on March 17, 2017. The use of the Aip and the cut-off values for research time will be evaluated in January 2020. |

* Book reviews are not included. Other short journal publications - including editorials (for edited special issues), comments, very short notes, etc. - may qualify for inclusion provided they make a sufficient scientific contribution. Judgements are to be made by the SOM director (if needed in consultation with the SOM Board). The number of pages is of no consequence for the credits attributed.
