A method of evaluating the academic ability of a scientific research institution

Abstract

The invention discloses an evaluation method for academic capability of a scientific research institution. The evaluation method comprises the following steps: obtaining a paper pool for evaluating academic capability, cleaning data and calculating a journal impact factor standard value IFNOR=IFV / lambda; the reference periodicals and the paper matrix being constructed, and the value of the reference periodicals being calculated; constructing the matrix of scientific research institutions and papers, and calculating the reference journal value; comparing the RFV_o of different scientific research institutes, and evaluating the academic ability of each scientific research institute in the same discipline according to the results of comparison. In the application, RFV_o is used as the evaluation index of the academic ability of scientific research institutions, RFV_o is determined by the standard value of the journal impact factor, and can be assigned as soon as the paper is published. The unique forward-looking attribute of this index can help the institutions to improve the level of scientific research management, and has very practical guiding significance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of scientific research management and academic ability evaluation, and in particular relates to an evaluation method for the academic ability of a scientific research institution. Background technique [0002] At present, when evaluating the academic capabilities of scientific research institutions, in addition to inviting experts in this field to conduct qualitative human evaluations, some quantitative indicators are generally used to evaluate their academic papers. Academic papers are the most basic elements in the evaluation of an institution's academic ability, so these quantitative indicators usually use papers as the entry point and the number of citations of papers as a pointer. The cited frequency of a paper refers to the number of times a paper is cited by the academic community after it is published. The cited frequency of papers is an important indicator when evaluating the academic ability of sc...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the shortcomings of the ESI index system are: (1) Using the citation frequency of an institution’s papers as a quantitative indicator will bring about the following problems: (a) The citation frequency of a paper has been marked with “post-retrospection” since the date of its birth. ", the post-evaluation method cannot provide timely guidance for scientific research institutions to improve their academic level, and has little practical significance for scientific research institutions to improve scientific research management and promote the development of scientific research in the current period; (b) Since the citations of papers are always in a state of growth, the final result of the citations of papers is uncertain, and the effectiveness and scientificity of scientific research institutions are not known with uncertain indicators.

[0005] (2) The ESI indicator system only targets 22 major disciplines, and the ESI indicators set too broad a range of disciplines for the 22 major disciplines, resulting in some institutions with obvious advantages in smaller research fields ranking in ESI disciplines However, it is difficult to show comparative advantages; on the contrary, some institutions that rank high in ESI cannot find their outstanding advantages in specific academic research fields; Among them, it is still difficult for scientific research institutions to understand the specific reasons for the gap between their own academic level and other scientific research institutions, so that it is difficult to clarify the direction of their own efforts

However, these rankings use many factors and complex algorithms, so the operability is poor; and although these rankings have quantitative indicators, scientific research institutions are still in the dilemma of "knowing what is not knowing why"

As a result, this type of ranking evaluation method is not operable for scientific research institutions to improve their scientific research management level, and its practical guiding significance is not great

[0007] At present, there is still a lack of an evaluation index with strong operability and practical guiding significance for the overall academic ability of scientific research institutions in the existing technology
