The evaluation of the publication outputs in the Czech Republic is based on the methodology from the Research, Development and Innovation Council. This methodology assigns a score to each output according to a various categories. The evaluation is carried out for 5 year-long sliding period. However, the assigned score for an output is published with more than a year delay. Moreover, the assigned score, in most of the cases, does not correspond with the scientists' first calculation, which was made according to the generally known rules. The impact of this issue on the chosen scientific organisations, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), is the topic of this paper. The evaluation and analysis of the financial impact of this gap on the Czech higher education institutions' budgets is provided with data from the years 2007 to 2012.

Keywords: science metrics, RIV points, higher education institutions, publication activity, research, Development and Innovation Council
