Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the theoretical-epistemological perspective of evaluation that guides the construction of the thesis that “quality can gradually increase from quantity”, presented in the article “Drivers of academic performance in a Brazilian university under a government-restructuring program”, recently published in the Journal of Informetrics (JOI)1. The aforementioned article supports the thesis based on a series of statistical variables raised in a study on the Lattes CVs of 1,487 members (PhDs and PhD students) of the faculty of the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), in which the authors Diniz Filho et al. (2016) point out the productivity of UFG professors. The concepts and paradigms of evaluation will be discussed, as well as the emphasis on the regulation-centered model found in the methodology developed by the authors of the article in question.
