BALLESTEROS-MEJIA, Melissa; RODRIGUEZ-POMEDA, Jesús  and  CASANI, Fernando. A Qualitative Study on Colombian Scientific Assessment from a Research-Creation Perspective. CS [online]. 2023, n.40, pp.40-73.  Epub Dec 26, 2023. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i40.5710.

The tensions generated in the scientific assessment expose flaws in the mechanisms used for this purpose, especially for the social sciences and humanities, which insist on being different from traditional research methodologies. Including the concept research-creation in the Colombian National System of Categorization of Researchers (SNCI by its Spanish acronym), is a milestone in recognizing these differences. However, its impact on the practice of humanities researchers is scarcely known. Through a qualitative study, this article seeks to improve understanding of the perceptions in the Colombian research landscape since the research-creation appeared in the measurement system. The descriptive analysis of the opinions of researchers in this area allows us to recognize that, although it made visible an important research production, it perpetuates practices that are harmful to research, and corroborates the need for a profound reorientation of how knowledge production is observed.

Keywords : Science Policy; Research-Creation; Research Evaluation; National System of Categorization of Researchers.
