Resumo

Science, technology and innovation (STI) policy evaluation is an increasingly recognized practice around the world. But what is its real role in the formulation, implementation and/or maintenance of these policies? Considering that not only the results but also the quality of evaluations can influence policy design and execution, meta-evaluation, meta-analysis and evaluation synthesis studies are fundamental. This research-in-progress paper aims to present an effort of evaluation of STI policy evaluations in the Latin American context. The research is part of a broader initiative named Science and Innovation Policy Evaluations Repository (SIPER), coordinated by Manchester Institute of Innovation Research (MIoIR). The paper main contributions are: (i) a literature review about the concepts of meta-evaluation, meta-analysis and evaluation synthesis and applications of these tools in STI field; (ii) a framework of indicators to evaluate STI policy evaluations; (iii) an overview of STI policy evaluation in Latin America.
