Description

Examines the right to academic freedom in the context of the New Zealand Bills of Rights Act 1990, and whether or not output based research funding is a justifiable limitation on the rights to freedom of academia protected by that Act. Argues that peer review emphasises the contemporary usefulness of research, and inveigles researchers to favour conventional and well accepted lines of enquiry, neglecting or placing less value on innovative and controversial contributions.
