What motivates academics to participate in review groups for accreditation and evaluation procedures?

New article by Sandra Ohly and Christian Schneijderberg (2021): German Professors’ Motivation to Act as Peer Reviewers in Accreditation and Evaluation Procedures. In: Minerva.

On the basis of self-determination theory Sandra Ohly and Christian Schneijderberg examined which types of motivation dominate among German professors acting as reviewers in accreditation and evaluation procedures. The findings suggest that peer reviewing – also of research – is based on identified (and introjected) and not intrinsic motivation.
