The fteval Journal for Research and Technology Policy Evaluation

The fteval Journal for Research and Technology Policy Evaluation positions itself at the interface between research and technology policy practice and academic quality, thereby contributing to the exchange between the various stakeholder groups in the RTI evaluation field. Thematic issues alternate with thematically open ones. Including the previous newsletters from which the journal emerged, 53 issues have been published so far. The fteval Journal is published as open access. All papers undergo an editorial review.
