国家研究评估练习:当劳动力投入被视为统一时绩效排名失真的度量
National research assessment exercises: a measure of the distortion of performance rankings when labor input is treated as uniform
摘要:
衡量科学研究活动的效率是一个关键的方法问题,其中许多问题尚未得到充分研究。虽然许多研究已经评估了质量和研究生产率和学术排名之间的关系,但当学术排名和其他劳动力因素不被视为标准化因素时,对全国大学绩效排名的扭曲程度知之甚少。这项工作提出了一个比较分析,旨在量化的敏感性,文献计量学排名的输入的选择,与输入被认为是只有工作人员的研究人员的数量,或者他们的成本也被认为是。观察领域包括所有69所活跃在硬科学领域的意大利大学。业绩计量的依据是所有34 000名研究人员在2004-2006年三年期内编制的81 000份出版物,并在各学科一级进行了分析,共计187份。从劳动力转向成本的影响似乎微乎其微,除了一些离群值。
英文摘要:
Measuring the efficiency of scientific research activity presents critical methodological aspects, many of which have not been sufficiently studied. Although many studies have assessed the relation between quality and research productivity and academic rank, not much is known about the extent of distortion in national university performance rankings when academic rank and the other labor factors are not considered as a factor of normalization. This work presents a comparative analysis that aims to quantify the sensitivity of bibliometric rankings to the choice of input, with input considered as only the number of researchers on staff, or alternatively where their cost is also considered. The field of observation consists of all 69 Italian universities active in the hard sciences. Performance measures are based on the 81,000 publications produced during the 2004-2006 triennium by all 34,000 research staff, with analysis carried out at the level of individual disciplines, 187 in total. The effect of the switch from labor to cost seems to be minimal except for a few outliers.
