III — Evaluation criteria:

The criteria, indicators and ponderations, for the evaluation and ranking of the candidates, approved by the committee, are the following:

1. In the quality of research criterion applications for the position of Full Professor are assessed for the most part on the extent of international recognition of the applicant and the applicant’s research.

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 Full Professor based on their publication record in such journals, seeking to assess the impact of the published research in the scholarly community. It is additionally considered the supervision of PhD thesis and postgraduate students.

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. Papers that have been published as Associate Professor will be considered as most relevant.

In this quality of research criterion candidates are classified on a scale from 0 to 100.

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: academic leadership in prestigious international institutions (this criterion does not refer to the applicant’s nationality, but to the institution’s accreditations and/or international rankings), internationalization, ability to attract community service projects, and outreach activities to non-specialized audiences. Attention shall be given to the particular nature of the institution of origin, given that different university organizations in different countries sometimes solicit different types of institutional participation.

4. The assessment and ranking of the candidates should follow the rules set on the article 16º of the “UNL’s Rules for Contests for University Positions” (Regulamento dos Concursos da Carreira Docente Universitária da UNL), in Dispatch nº 3012/2015, published in “Diário da República, 2nd serie- nº 58, March 24. The classification of the candidates is given on a scale from 0 to 100, and corresponds to the weighted sum of the classifications on each criterion, according to the following weights:

Quality of research criterion: 60%

Quality of teaching criterion: 20%

Institutional contribution criterion: 20%
