University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

Science, Technology & Evaluation Lab

We study how scientific knowledge is produced, evaluated, and recognized, and how digital technologies and institutional arrangements shape inequality in these processes. Led by Jina Lee, the lab brings together computational, quantitative, and mixed-methods research on science and technology.

Current projects focus on evaluation systems, digital research infrastructures, and technology-mediated judgment.
