We investigate collaborative and interdisciplinary research features of University College Dublin, using methods from social network analysis to analyze and visualize (co-)publications covered by the Web of Science from 1998 through 2007. We account for the extent of interdisciplinarity in collaborations, distinguishing collaborations between schools within one college ("small interdisciplinarity") from collaborations between schools in different colleges ("big interdisciplinarity"). Based on the interdisciplinary nature, we compare the types of collaboration to a model of random matching across units, observing several marked differences. During the period of consideration, collaborations within UC Dublin nearly doubled, almost entirely due to the increasing level of intra-school collaborations.
Severe Language Effect in University Rankings: Particularly Germany and France are wronged in citation-based rankings
我们采用了一套标准的文献计量学指标来监测全球500所大学的科学水平，并根据这些指标构建了一个排名（莱顿排名2010）。我们发现一个戏剧性的，迄今为止在很大程度上被低估的语言效果在文献计量学，基于引用的研究绩效的测量时，比较排名的基础上所有Web of Science（WoS）覆盖的出版物和仅英语WoS覆盖的出版物，特别是德国和法国。
