Summary/Abstract: This article is a brief summary of the main outcomes of a study exploring the views of academics at the Bucharest University of Economics regarding their research activity and the evaluation of academic research. I would like to express my gratitude to Laura Mureşan, Ph.D, and Cristina Neesham, Ph.D, for their support and their guidance which has made it possible for the article version of this paper to be accepted for publication in an international journal cited in the ISI data base. I would also like to thank my colleagues who were so kind and generously shared their opinions in a focus group and in-depth interviews, and to my husband, who was the first reader and the first critic of the paper. My article reflects the knowledge and skills I have acquired during the Master Program in several courses, such as critical thinking, qualitative research, academic writing and educational management.
