SPACE as a tool for helping universities to reform the assessment of research.
SPACE is a rubric to help universities and other institutions reform how they assess research and researchers. One axis depicts five institutional capabilities that we see as critical to reforming the assessment of research: Standards for scholarship; Process mechanics and policies; Accountability; Culture within institutions; and Evaluative and iterative feedback. The other axis indicates three states of readiness for reform (foundation; basic; scaling). This figure shows an abbreviated version of the rubric; the full rubric can be seen in Supplementary file 1. Figure 1 is reproduced from the top panel on page 2 of Hatch and Schmidt, 2021.
