Scale-independent indicators and research evaluation
This paper demonstrates that some conventional indicators used in research evaluation may fail to account for the non-linearity between size of institution and performance. This can result in an overor under-estimation of the research performance of both large and small institutions and nations. This paper shows that a power law relationship exists between recognition or impact and (a) publishi...
متن کاملScale-Independent Bibliometric Indicators
Van Raan (this issue) makes an excellent case for using bibliometric data to measure some central aspects of scientific research and to construct indicators of groups: research groups, university departments, and institutes. He claims that, next to peer review, these indicators are indispensable for evaluating research and can be used in parallel with peer review processes. By way of an example...
متن کاملIndicators for complex innovation systems: A scale-independent view
Many traditional performance indicators are derived from the ratio of two measures. Sometimes they are used to rank members of an innovation system and the results are used to inform public policy decision makers. It has been shown that a scaling or power law relationship exists between the numerator and denominator of three traditional performance indicators national wealth, R&D intensity and ...

متن کاملThe Evaluation of Research and the Evolution of Science Indicators
Research evaluation is based on a representation of the research. Improving the quality of the representations cannot prevent the indicators from being provided with meaning by a receiving discourse different from the research system(s) under study. Since policy decisions affect the systems under study, this configuration generates a tension that has been driving the further development of scie...
