For large-scale evaluative purposes, we advocate the use of a combination of bibliometric indices that will include an indicator not associated with the size of the research output.
While following an evaluative approach, it did not constitute a full-scale evaluation aimed at exhaustively documenting the results UNICEF achieved or did not achieve for children and women in Haiti or the many factors that have affected its response since this extraordinary disaster.
More specifically, sensitivity to changes needs to be investigated in order to use this scale for an evaluative purpose.
74 77 FHCS is a rating scale, which combines evaluative and descriptive elements of communication behaviour, 78 and provides an outcome measure for communication skills.
However, not all scales with an "evaluative" or a "presumably evaluative" aim were tested for their responsiveness.
As a measure of SA, participants completed two visual analogue scales (VAS), similar to the evaluative rating scales used in conceptually similar laboratory research (e.g., Hermans et al. 2002; Dirikx et al. 2004).
Communication skills at a surgical OSCE in 2008 were assessed independently by two observers using an evaluative rating scale.
The HAQ met the standards we set for responsiveness and its test-retest reliability was found to be very high in a sample of stable patients, indicating that the scale is appropriate for evaluative purposes (i.e., to track physical functioning over time), both at the group level and at the individual level.
The contrasting adjectives remain the same for each concept scored, and were chosen from the evaluative adjective scales (Osgood et al, 1971).
Studies have shown this scale to be a valid evaluative measure of infants receiving physical therapy, and infants with cerebral palsy and motors delays [ 18, 23].
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was then conducted on the collected data sets to extract the major scales and factors of residents' evaluative structure.
