Research Policy, 1979
Abstract An algorithm, specially developed to set research priorities, was used by eleven scientists to rank ten different projects. These eleven scientists had previously ranked the projects by personal judgement. Comparison of the results from both methods indicates excellent agreement among rankers within each method, little discrepancy between ...
