The evaluation rounds have an opening date and a closing date and normally last 4 weeks. As part of an evaluation round, the University activates one or more evaluation procedures.On the basis of the evaluation models (VQR and ASN), the system generates indicators related to the scientific production of individuals and aggregate indicators related to the research structures of the University of Genoa.Evaluation procedures can be of two types: Self-Evaluation Procedures: these are procedures based on the evaluation models and oriented towards the aims of self-evaluation of the University's scientific production as per art. 2, par. 1 and art. 4 of Legislative Decree no. 19 of 27/01/2012.External Evaluation Support Procedures: these are procedures based on the above-mentioned models and oriented towards the performance of activities required of the University within the framework of external evaluation procedures envisaged by the regulations.Subjects evaluatedThe system evaluates the scientific production of structured personnel (professors and researchers, fixed-term and open-ended). Evaluation procedures can be initiated for other categories of research staff, such as PhD students or holders of research grants.Access to the systemFor each user an account has been activated to allow access to the system and consultation of the indicators for self-assessment purposes.To access the system, simply visit:https://criterium.svelto.tech/loginand proceed via- the institutional login by selecting University of Genoa in the panel dedicated to Single Sign On (SSO) and use the institutional credentials UniGePASS or use - the alternative login by creating a new passwordPrivacy PolicyAfter logging in to the system, it is recommended to consult the page dedicated to the privacy policy, which can be reached from the link at the top of the main page.It is important to underline that, in accordance with the regulations adopted by the University and with the privacy policy, the indicators related to the scientific production of each evaluated subject are visible only to the subject concerned, and cannot be consulted by any other user of the University.Any subject may at any time decide NOT to join the evaluation; in this case they will be excluded from the product selection procedure.
