Titles:
1) Powerful Numbers:
A reflection on influential analyses in the history of science policy and the numbers decision makers use. This historical overview looks at evidence for the influence of particular analyses produced by Edwin Mansfield, Francis Narin, Linda Butler, Ben Martin & John Irvine and NSF.

2) A review of National University Research Evaluation and Funding Systems:
In recent decades governments have sought greater accountability from those who receive public money. In this environment, universities have faced changing funding regimes with the introduction of national systems of funding conditional on evaluation of research output, or performance based research funding systems. Universities in many countries now face periodic measurement and comparison of their research output. They participate in a single national system used to evaluate research across all types of universities and all fields.
I will provide an overview of these performance-based funding systems for public research in research intensive universities (such as the RAE in the UK). This involves exploring the types of performance-based funding systems in use, their rationale, goals and features. The design and administration of the systems is also examined, specifically, the level of consultation and negotiation that takes place with the tertiary institutions, and how the funding systems interact with other facets of the funding environment.
Finally the paper explores the arguments that have emerged for and against the different types of funding systems, and whether any consensus is emerging as to a “state-of-the-art” system.
