Expert Evaluation in the Flow of Information Science

Abstract

AbstractInformation science is dealing with the study of all aspects of information, from its generation to its use, together with the planning processes and services for an efficient flow of information. This involves the transfer of knowledge, which is the crucial epistemological question of information science. In modern times, this is a very important issue because modern professional society is based on expert knowledge, which is founded on scientific research. The circle of scientific information is completed when all phases of information flow are connected. A completed information circle provides sustainable knowledge, scientific upgrading and development of science. In this way, the inputs and efforts in scientific research projects are confirmed. Scientific information today is still based on the publication of scientific papers. Published research results are the basis for assessing the quality of research work. Quality and responsiveness of scientific research are determined by using bibliometric methods and on the base of expert evaluation. Expert evaluation has a decisive influence on several levels of scientific research and publishing activities. It is important to maximize the objectivity - impartiality of expert evaluation. This article presents the baseline survey of the expert evaluation systems and the review of relevant work in this area.
