国家科学设施及其对非生物医学研究的科学影响

National Scientific Facilities and Their Science Impact on Non-Biomedical Research

A. L. Kinney

摘要:

赫希提出的H指数是衡量科学家研究影响力的一个很好的指标。在评估部门、机构或实验室时,如果对规模进行适当的校准,h指数的重要性可以进一步提高。特别严重的是联邦资助的机构的问题,其积极发表论文的科学家的数量往往使学术部门相形见绌。最近,Molinari和Molinari开发了一种方法,该方法表明h指数对大量论文具有普遍的增长率,从而可以在机构之间进行有意义的比较。在比较大型机构时的另一个挑战是,各个领域有不同的内部文化,具有不同的典型出版和引用率;生物学比物理学更高,而物理学比工程学更高。因此,本研究的重点是物理科学、工程和技术,而不包括生物医学研究。这里报告了各个学科之间的比较,以提供背景框架。一般来说,人们发现,Molinari和Molinari的普遍增长率在所有考虑的类别中都保持良好,证明了他们的增长规律和我们的结果的鲁棒性。这里的总体目标是为联邦科学投资设定最高的比较标准;与国家杰出的私人和公共机构进行比较。我们发现,许多国家的设施比较有利的研究影响与国家领先的大学。

英文摘要:

H-index, proposed by Hirsch is a good indicator of the impact of a scientist's research. When evaluating departments, institutions or labs, the importance of h-index can be further enhanced when properly calibrated for size. Particularly acute is the issue of federally funded facilities whose number of actively publishing scientists frequently dwarfs that of academic departments. Recently Molinari and Molinari developed a methodology that shows the h-index has a universal growth rate for large numbers of papers, allowing for meaningful comparisons between institutions. An additional challenge when comparing large institutions is that fields have distinct internal cultures, with different typical rates of publication and citation; biology is more highly cited than physics, which is more highly cited than engineering. For this reason, this study has focused on the physical sciences, engineering, and technology, and has excluded bio-medical research. Comparisons between individual disciplines are reported here to provide contextual framework. Generally, it was found that the universal growth rate of Molinari and Molinari holds well across all the categories considered, testifying to the robustness of both their growth law and our results. The overall goal here is to set the highest standard of comparison for federal investment in science; comparisons are made with the nations preeminent private and public institutions. We find that many among the national facilities compare favorably in research impact with the nations leading universities.
