To assist with this process an Advisory Group of arc funded researchers has been set up to provide additional scientific expertise to the project team. This report was produced as a background document for the first Advisory Group workshop. The report outlines the project; introduces the important concepts in research evaluation, and describes some potential research evaluation tools that were explored in the workshop.
