Computational Models Supporting Decision-Making in Managing Publication Activity at Polish Universities

In this publication, the authors present the topic of quality assurance of research activity and, in particular, focus on the issue of evaluation of publication activity. The main aim of the study was to develop an optimization model to support decision-making processes related to obtaining best results during the evaluation of the publication activities of university staff. The following parts of the paper present the principles of quality evaluation of scientific activity in Poland, the process of evaluating publication activity, the concept of the optimization model, and the effects of its implementation. The paper is based on data relating to the evaluation process carried out in Poland in 2022.
