III – Criteria, weights, and evaluation methods

1 - The criteria for the selection of the successful applicant, approved by the selection committee, are the following:

1. In the quality of research criterion applications for the position of Assistant Professor are assessed for the most part on the promise of research that the candidates present: In the areas of Economics, Finance, and Management the best international research is published in scholarly journals rather than books. Nova SBE evaluates candidates for the position of Assistant Professor based on their promise of publication in such journals because in this early stage of career this recognition is premature. Recognition of the quality of research is also influenced by the number of times an author and her/his research is cited by other scholars, and by the invitations extended to the candidate to sit on committees of leading journals. Publication in top-ranked international journals in the areas of Economics, Finance, and Management is considered disproportionately more important than publishing in well-respected, “prestigious” (but not top) journals. Publishing in journals of acceptable quality, but lower reputation, is given little consideration. In this quality of research criterion candidates are classified on a scale from 0 to 100. While not disregarding the opinion(s) of the jury, it is deemed useful to indicate some guidelines regarding the ranking of scholarly journals according to “top”, “prestigious”, and “other”. Two sources are considered as guidelines: the list of 50 journals defined by the Financial Times (FT), and the list of the Association of Business Schools (ABS). Journals are ranked as follows:

Top: FT50 or ABS level 4;

Prestigious: ABS level 3;

Quality: ABS level 2;

Others: ABS level 1 and other international peer-reviewed journals.

2. In the quality of teaching criterion candidates are classified on a scale from 0 to 100. Quality of teaching is assessed through student feedback course evaluations. Favorable attention is given to teaching awards, documented curricular or pedagogical innovations, and teaching materials published in leading publications. Experience in executive education and teaching in internationally recognized schools (understood to be those with AACSB, AMBA, and/or EQUIS accreditation) is appreciated.

3. In the activities of interest criterion candidates are classified on a scale from 0 to 100. The institutional contribution criterion assesses the applicant’s contribution to the development of the institution. Contributions that shall be considered include participations in institutional team works, evaluation committees and juris. However, in this earlier stage of career it’s not expected a strong involvement in institutional processes or management.

2 — The scope and impact of the applicant’s national and international activities will always be taken into account.
