Update. Publishers may choose English because it's a lingua franca for science, intelligible to a larger audience. Or they may do it to increase their #JIF. (And of course the two motives may be related.) Research from Brazil.

New #evaluation protocol for academic research published in the Netherlands: #StrategyEvaluationProtocol #SEP 2021-2027 by @deVSNU @NWONews and @_KNAW. Something old, something new. A thread. vsnu.nl/files/document…
The goal of #SEP remains to maintain and improve quality and societal relevance of research. A unit is assessed in light of its own aims and strategy; and aim and strategy depend on institutional context, research field, nature of unit etc. Nothing really new.
A #SEP evaluation doesn’t stand alone; it is a six-yearly event in the ongoing quality assurance cycle. Not really new, but SEP evaluations are far more explicitly positioned as part of a continuous quality assurance process.
