In this chapter, we directly approach the contemporaneous evaluation formula centered on the use of metrics to evaluate the research and researchers’ productivity. We tell the reader a partial history of evaluation stating its role and importance in transmitting values and cultures and being nowadays a global imperative for higher education. In this context, we defend research networks participatory evaluation as a useful and necessary asset and being a competitive advantage to those organizations and institutions whose mission includes improving and valuing knowledge production. For networks research groups interested in micro-level evaluations, we suggest a protocol and qualitative and quantitative indicators to carry out a participatory evaluation. We also present some exogenous evaluation indicators for meso- and macro-level research networks evaluation. Finally, we conclude the chapter by reviewing the advantages of evaluating in a participatory manner with or without the most common metrics.
