Abstract: 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 over- or 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) publishing size of scientific communities within an OECD science system and (b) publishing size of a research community across OECD science systems or institutions in a science system. Also, a power law relationship exists between the amount of various types of collaboration and the publishing size of institutions. A new class of scale-independent indicators is developed to overcome the inequity produced by some nonlinear characteristics commonly measured when evaluating research performance.

Abstract: Despite increasing interest amongst policy makers and academics, there have been few attempts at gathering systematic data on the nature and extent of research collaborations between universities and industry. This paper uses joint scientific publications as an indicator of such collaborations in the UK over 20 years. It finds that, although there has been a rapid increase in the volume of university–industry collaborations since the 1980s, the biggest increases were before the major policy measures of the mid-1990s. An important factor would appear to be the growing need for firms, especially non-British firms, to collaborate with leading-edge academic research in promising areas of new technology.

Abstract: This paper investigates the varying effects of a changing institutional environment on academic research practices in three fields of Dutch animal science. Our analysis shows that the shifts in funding have stimulated interactions with societal stakeholders in fields where this has helped to sustain a basic research agenda. In other fields researchers experience a tension between satisfying the needs of application-oriented funding sources and reaching high scores on evaluations dominated by bibliometric indicators. The paper concludes with the identification of three field characteristics that seem to moderate the effects of institutional changes on academic research practices.

Abstract: The term ‘national innovation systems’ surfaced for the first time in print during the late 1980s and, in the years that followed, several important contributions on this topic appeared. This paper investigates the role that this new literature plays within innovation studies and the world of science more generally and discusses the sources for its emergence. With the help of expert assessments, the three most important contributions to the ‘national innovation systems’ literature are identified. Then the citations to these works in scholarly journals in the Web of Science are presented and the characteristics of the ‘national innovation systems’ literature, as compared with other areas of research, are analyzed.

Abstract: Based on the data abstracted from SCI-E database during the period 1997-2005, the paper shows that basic science in Xin jiang has made a good progress, while the scientific writing index is still lower and need to be increased. Xinjiang University and Urumqi is the center of scientific activity respectively in the aspects of institute and location. The distribution of scientific activity in Xinjiang is of obvious difference with other areas and institutes. In addition, international scientific collaborative.

Abstract: Based on the statistics and analyses of 168689 articles published in SCI source journals in the field of mechanics, this paper explored the relationship between productivity and international scientific collaboration. The investigation indicates that there exists Matthew effect in international collaboration of mechanics research. The less productive countries prefer to collaborate with the more productive countries. The more productive a country is, the higher its first authors’ ratio is. The country with ...

Abstract: The large amount of data concerning China-US co-authored papers in science and technology from the year of 1978 to 2005 have been collected, organized and analized in a thorough way by applying the bibliometric research method. The total scale, ratio and their changes, scientific disciplines, participating agencies and publishing journals of the co-authored papers in the past and the present have been statistically ranked and evaluated as a preliminary study on the performance evaluation of the internation...

Abstract: This study reviews the changes of 9 Chinese top universities supported by “985 project” during 1997-2005 based on the analysis of a series of scientometric indicators. The following indicators total number of publications indexed by SCIE and SSCI, cumulated impact factor, average expected quality of publications, percentage of publications in top journals, are calculated for each university: number of publications per faculty, and the index of disciplinary balance. Several suggestions are made for Chinese top universities on how to improve research quality, how to better integrate into global academic society and how to facilitate interdisciplinary research.

Abstract: Based on the supposing that development of discipline is affected by administrative status through acquiring science and technology resources and development chances, we consider that the number of research production of a school dean’s discipline has a distinct change before and after his election. We chose academic papers of the new-elected deans of 43 management schools in “211 project” universities as research objects, collected and analyzed the papers of the deans’ stair discipline and all the papers of the schools, and tested the percentage of papers of the deans’ stair discipline to all the papers of the schools by paired samples T-test with statistics software of SPSS. We find that the election of the dean has a distinct effect on the number of the papers of his discipline.

Abstract: To determine the characteristics of scientific productivity of EA study, a bibliometric analysis of 1,320 EArelated papers in SCI from 1996-2005 was performed. The results indicate that EA-related studies have kept a steady increase since 1996, and EA was a popular topic for scientists. Environmental science and engineering ＆ environmental were the major subject categories of EA-related studies in SCI. The distribution of EA-related papers in journals was discrete. International collaboration was enhanced during the period of 1996-2005 on EA study, and obviously international co-authored papers were more visible than single-country papers. Developed countries have taken advantage to produce EA-related papers. There were three impeditive factors holding back the EA-Research: lack of continuity, low visibility and the difficulties they faced. Limitations of this bibliometric analysis are the incompletion of original data and the bias.
