Therefore, quality criteria for the humanities must be based on the humanities scholars’ conceptions of research. This is best achieved by adopting an inside-out approach.....
a genuine inside-out approach has an open outcome. This means that whatever the scholars define as a quality criterion will be accepted as such, no matter how different it might be from the already known criteria from the natural and life sciences. Finally, the inside-out approach implies a bottom-up procedure. This means that, on one hand, quality criteria should not be determined solely by political stakeholders, university administrators or a few experts in the field in a top-down manner but rather by the scholarly community in its entirety. On the other hand, this means also that not only professors should have a say in what the important quality criteria are, but also younger researchers’ conceptions of quality must be taken into account, since research practices can change and new ways of doing research should be reflected in the quality criteria as well.
