It is feasible to monitor US performance with field-by-field peer assessments. This might be done through the establishment of independent panels consisting of researchers who work in a field, individuals who work in closely related fields, and research "users" who follow the field closely. Some of these individuals should be outstanding foreign scientists in the field being examined. This technique of comparative international assessments is also known as international benchmarking. Experiments in International Benchmarking of U.S. Research Fields evaluates the feasibility and utility of the benchmarking technique. In order to do this, the report internationally benchmarks three fields: mathematics, immunology, and materials science and engineering, then summarizes the results of these experiments. 410 0$aCompass series (Washington, D.C.) 606 $aResearch$zUnited States$xEvaluation 606 $aBenchmarking (Management) 615 0$aResearch$xEvaluation. 615 0$aBenchmarking (Management) 676 $a507/.2073 712 02$aCommittee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy (U.S.) 712 02$aNational Academy of Sciences (U.S.) 712 02$aNational Academy of Engineering. 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961676403321 996 $aExperiments in international benchmarking of US research fields$94369027 997 $aUNINA
