Introducing recalibrated academic performance indicators in the evaluation of individuals’ research performance: A case study from Eastern Europe     

《Journal of Informetrics》2020,14(4):101073

In Hungary, the highest and most prestigious scientific qualification is considered to be the Doctor of Science (DSc) title being awarded by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The academic performance indicators of the DSc title are of high importance in the evaluation of individuals’ research performance not only when a researcher applies for obtaining a DSc title, but also during promotions and appointments at universities, and in the case of the evaluation of applications for scientific titles and degrees, and the assessment of applications for funding. In the Section of Earth Sciences encompassing nine related disciplines, rather than carrying out a straightforward bibliometric analysis, the performance indicators were designed as a result of a consensual agreement between leading academicians, each of whom represented a particular discipline. Therefore, the minimum values of the indicators, required to be fulfilled if one is applying for a DSc title, do not adequately reflect the actual discipline-specific performance of researchers. This problem may generate tension between researchers during the evaluation process. The main goal of this paper is to recalibrate the minimum values of four major performance indicators by taking the actual discipline-specific distance ratios into account. In addition, each minimum value will be defined by employing integer and fractional counting methods as well. The research outcome of this study can provide impetus for the Section of Earth Sciences (and eventually other sections of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences) to optimize the minimum values of the DSc title performance indicators by taking the specifics of each discipline into account. Because academic performance indicators are also employed in other Eastern European countries in the evaluation of individuals’ research performance, the methods used in that paper can be placed into a wider geographical context.  相似文献   

Exploring all-author tripartite citation networks: A case study of gene editing

Constructing academic networks to explore intellectual structure realize academic community detection, which can promote scientific research innovation and discipline progress, constitutes an important research topic. In this study, tripartite citation is fused with co-citation and coupling relations as a way of weighting the strength of direct citations, and all-author tripartite citation networks were constructed due to the contributions of all authors to the resulting publications. For purpose of exploring the potential of the all-author exclusive and inclusive tripartite citation networks, gene editing is taken as a case study. The extensive experimental comparisons are conducted with the traditional author single-citation networks and first-author tripartite citation network in terms of network structure characteristics, identifying core scholars, and exploring intellectual structures. The following conclusions can be drawn as follows: our all-author tripartite citation networks are able to help identify the most influential scholars in the field of gene editing, and the intellectual structures from exclusive tripartite citation networks are optimal.  相似文献   

Publication counting methods for a national research evaluation exercise     

Przemyslaw Korytkowski  Emanuel Kulczycki 《Journal of Informetrics》2019,13(3):804-816

In this paper, we investigate the effects of using four methods of publication counting (complete, whole, fractional, square root fractional) and limiting the number of publications (at researcher and institution levels) on the results of a national research evaluation exercise across fields using Polish data. We use bibliographic information on 0.58 million publications from the 2013–2016 period. Our analysis reveals that the largest effects are in those fields within which a variety publication and cooperation patterns can be observed (e.g. in Physical sciences or History and archeology). We argue that selecting the publication counting method for national evaluation purposes needs to take into account the current situation in the given country in terms of the excellence of research outcomes, level of internal, external and international collaboration, and publication patterns in the various fields of sciences. Our findings show that the social sciences and humanities are not significantly influenced by the different publication counting methods and limiting the number of publications included in the evaluation, as publication patterns in these fields are quite different from those observed in the so-called hard sciences. When discussing the goals of any national research evaluation system, we should be aware that the ways of achieving these goals are closely related to the publication counting method, which can serve as incentives for certain publication practices.  相似文献

关于康普顿散射性质的讨论     

王建伟  李婷婷 《喀什师范学院学报》2011,32(6):22-27

康普顿效应是X射线通过物质时发生散射,除波长不变部分外,还有波长变长的部分出现.康普顿把这种现象解释为X射线的光子与电子碰撞的结果.通过对康普顿散射的仔细分析,可推出康普顿散射是弹性散射,光子也不可以任意分割.  相似文献

把容斥原理形式进一步的推广得到一些更普遍的形式.对于任何一个集合S,推广到在性质a1,a2,…,aq中具有r个性质,在性质aq+1,…,an中具有k个性质的元素的个数为:N(r,k)=∑0≤i≤q-r 0≤j≤n-q-k(-1)i+j(r+i r)(k+j k)N r+i,k+j,使得容斥原理的应用范围扩大化.  相似文献   

最低生活保障制度存在的问题及改革建议   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

杨立雄 《中国软科学》2011,(8)

在实施最低生活保障制度的过程中,由于中央政府没有规定最低生活保障标准的具体计算方法,且由于管理层次太低,造成我国最低生活保障标准多达教千个的局面.大部分地区的保障标准过低,保障效果不良;且各地区间标准差距过大,影响地区统筹发展.解决上述问题的根本之策在于:统一最低生活保障标准的计算方法,提高最低生活保障标准的管理层次.与上述改革相配套,需要建立中央、省市与区县的三级财政分担机制.  相似文献   

In young children's counting,procedures precede principles   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Robert S. Siegler 《Educational Psychology Review》1991,3(2):127-135

A substantial body of data on young children's counting is now available. Portions of these data can be explained by social context interpretations, such as those advanced by Elbers, but other parts of the data cannot be. The most urgent need is for models that illuminate how primitive conceptual understanding of cardinality and ordinality contributes to learning of counting procedures, and how experience with the counting procedures, in turn, enriches children's conceptual understanding.  相似文献
