科学质量测度的定量分析

A quantitative analysis of measures of quality in science

S. Lehmann, A. D. Jackson, B. E. Lautrup

摘要:

将任何学术科学家的工作浓缩为科学质量的一维度量是一个难题。在这里,我们采用贝叶斯统计来分析几种不同的质量指标。具体来说,我们确定每个措施的能力,区分科学作者。使用缩放参数,我们证明,最好的这些措施需要大约50篇论文得出结论,长期的科学性能与有用的小的统计不确定性。此外,这里描述的方法允许无值(即,在不同科学领域工作的科学家的统计)比较。

英文摘要:

Condensing the work of any academic scientist into a one-dimensional measure of scientific quality is a difficult problem. Here, we employ Bayesian statistics to analyze several different measures of quality. Specifically, we determine each measure's ability to discriminate between scientific authors. Using scaling arguments, we demonstrate that the best of these measures require approximately 50 papers to draw conclusions regarding long term scientific performance with usefully small statistical uncertainties. Further, the approach described here permits the value-free (i.e., statistical) comparison of scientists working in distinct areas of science.
