Evaluación de la investigación forestal. Una visión general
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
La evaluación de los programas de investigación se hace cada día más necesaria, ya que existe una creciente necesidad por justificar las inversiones y por demostrar que los fondos asignados son efectiva y eficientemente empleados. Este trabajo presenta divesas alternativas para la evaluación de proyectos o programas de investigación, analizando cada una desde el punto de vista forestal. Del análisis se concluye que la evaluación de proyectos de investigación forestal presenta mayores complicaciones que los de otras áreas, principalmente por la dificultad que existe para cuantificar sus beneficios.
