Sumario:This article analyzes certain results of a recent survey aimed at the universe of those who do research in Uruguay to know their opinions on various aspects associated with their work, focusing on what they think about academic evaluation, whether or not it is advisable to change it and in what directions it should be doing it. Quantitative results are presented, distinguishing the positions of various groups - women and men, academic elites, cognitive areas - and also qualitative results, derived from the hundreds of open responses received. The propensity to change shows, among other aspects, some few consensuses, a clear tendency not to change on the part of academic elites, shared opinions by less strong groups in the research hierarchy, and references to evaluation as part of other problems, for example, harmonization between academic life and family life. Based on the analysis carried out, some convergences of positions are identified that enable directions of change in how research is evaluated in Uruguay, and aspects are pointed out that require in-depth collective discussions to define whether or not to change and, above all, in which direction the change should go.
