Science Evaluation

How the Evaluation Works

How the Evaluation Works

FNUSA and its INTERNATIONAL CLINICAL RESEARCH CENTER therefore belong to the institutions actively shaping the future of research evaluation in an international context

Bibliometric Analyses and Overviews

We will help you get oriented in scientific performance – yours, your team’s, and the whole institution’s. We prepare clear bibliometric analyses that you can use for evaluation, publishing, and grant applications.

Services

  • analysis of publication activity of an author / team / institution 
  • overview of citation impact and research influence
  • identification of the most significant publications
  • lists of suitable journals for publishing
  • overview of collaborations (institutions, authors, international links) 

How it works

  • Send us your request (author / team / period / type of output).
  • We clarify the assignment and the scope of the analysis.
  • We will prepare a clear output (tables, visualisations + interpretation). 

Reporting Research Results

Why reporting is important

  • basis for the evaluation of research organisations 
  • influences institutional funding 
  • monitoring of grant and project fulfilment

How to submit results and related information

  • Publication results (except Jimp) should be sent to: kamila.fabianova@fnusa.cz, include:
    • title of the result, 
    • full text in PDF (or a link to an electronic version). 
Basic conditions for reporting

A result can be reported only if: 

  • it meets the methodology criteria, 
  • it has the correct year of implementation, 
  • it is fully entered in OBD, 
  • it has at least one author with an FNUSA affiliation. 

📌 Without a “home author” the result cannot be reported.

Result verification 

Once a year all workplaces (departments, clinics and ICRC teams) are invited, via secretariats or designated persons, to verify their results in the public version of the OBD database. 

Consultation

If anything is unclear, e‑mail kamila.fabianova@fnusa.cz, send the supporting material for the result and we will together choose the proper reporting procedure. The aim is to ensure that all relevant FNUSA results are reported correctly and on time.

External Evaluation

At the St. Anne´s Faculty Hospital / International Clinical Research Center a regular assessment of research activity is carried out by the international panel ISAB (International Scientific Advisory Board).

Assessment overview

  • ISAB 2021 – first comprehensive international assessment 
  • ISAB 2023 – follow‑up evaluation and feedback 

What lies ahead

  • 2026 – only internal assessment will take place
  • next ISAB is expected in 2028 

Why the assessment matters

  • guarantees international research quality
  • provides independent expert feedback
  • helps shape the strategy for future development

ISAB assessment is a key tool for the long‑term increase of scientific quality at FNUSA‑ICRC.

CoARA: Responsible Research Assessment

The Faculty Hospital of St. Anne in Brno and the International Clinical Research Center have joined the international initiative Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (https://www.coara.org/). CoARA is a global coalition of research institutions, funders and assessment bodies that aims to change the way research is evaluated. By joining, our institution commits to modern, fair and quality‑focused research assessment.

Emphasis is placed on: 

  • quality over quantity, 
  • real research impact, 
  • a broader spectrum of outputs (not only publications). 

FNUSA and its ICRC research centre therefore belong to the institutions actively shaping the future of research evaluation in an international context
