Thed van Leeuwen, PhD

Thed van Leeuwen is a senior researcher at CWTS. His research interests are in the triangular relationship of (the reform of) research evaluation, open science, and research integrity. Thed is also interested in the evaluation of research in general, and in the social sciences, law and the humanities in particular, as well in the ways research quality is perceived in research assessment contexts. The overarching science policy context under which research assessments are organized and the role of quantitative and qualitative information is dealt with are of major concern for this research agenda. Thed is co-editor of the journal Research Evaluation, published by Oxford University Press, member of the Core Team of the Research Intelligence Network Netherlands (RINN), as well as current President of the European Network of Indicator Designers (ENID, until September 2023).

Thed is a member of the Evaluation & Culture  focal area and a member of the Information & Openness focal area.
