When research is to be evaluated, quantitative methods have historically been important. Primarily, great importance has been placed on bibliometric methods, that is, measuring publication volumes and the number of citations for the publications. In recent years, however, such methods have been debated, which has led to an ongoing reform of the evaluation system that includes an upgrade of peer review as a method for analysis, and a more cautious use of quantitative methods.

“I am an assistant auditor at Grant Thornton and work in Karlstad. After graduation, I immediately got a job at PWC in Norrköping. I really felt that it was the right job for me, but my girlfriend was still in Karlstad and a long-distance relationship is not that easy. So I moved back to Karlstad and switched to Grant Thornton. This time it was also easy to find employment because of what I had studied at the Karlstad Business School and my theoretical background.

To plan how research results should be disseminated, a publication strategy is a good tool. For the strategy to work as well as possible, it needs to be established early on in a research project. It also often needs to be reconsidered and reformulated during the course of the project.
Research on people's sleep habits is important for understanding which habits and circumstances are associated with normal sleep and sleep problems, and to find out which treatment techniques can be helpful when people have slept poorly for a long time. The first recommended treatment for insomnia is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). In short, the treatment involves mapping one's sleep habits and testing new behaviors and thought patterns related to sleep.
