The work wants to address the methodological and procedural aspects of recent exercise of VQR 2011-2014 from a critical and constructive point of view. After a brief introduction, the longstanding issue of an universally applicable quality research definition, which is functional for organisation of research-outputs evaluation form and for formulation of referee evaluation, is deal with. Subsequently, the procedure for the composition of GEVs, the selection of referee and the different phases of peer review are examined in depth. The ultimate aim is to show, given the issues came to light, how the vocation to learrning from evaluation processes can be a cause for a constructive reflection on functioning and effects of VQR.
