Universidade do Porto no Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities_NTU Ranking 2014

1 Universidade do Porto no Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities – NTU Ranking 2014 http://nturanking.lis.ntu.edu.tw/ I. Metodologia do NTU Ranking e participação da U.Porto “The “Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities” is released by National Taiwan University, and is also known as NTU Ranking. NTU Ranking provides overall rankings, rankings by six fields, and rankings by 14 selected subjects. […] This ranking system employs bibliometric methods to analyze and rank the scientific paper performances of the world’s top 500 universities. The selection of the 500 universities for inclusion in this ranking system was based on information obtained from the Essential Science Indicators (ESI). Of more than 4,000 research institutions listed in ESI, this ranking system first selected the top 700 institutions based on the numbers of published journal articles and numbers of citations. Non-university institutions were then removed from the list, and the project staff compared the remaining universities to those included in other ranking programs such as ARWU, THE, QS, and U.S. News. This resulted in 903 universities for this ranking system. Data used to assess the performances of the universities was drawn from ISI’s ESI and Web of Science Core Collection (WOS), which includes SCI and SSCI, and Journal Citation Reports (JCR). The concept of authority control was employed to retrieve data indexed under different forms of a university’s name in the aforementioned databases – i.e. the official name, the abbreviated name and other possible forms of the name. This ranking system also considered the merging and splitting of universities (or different campuses in a university system) and included publications by university-affiliated institutions such as research centers and university hospitals. This effort ensured the accuracy of each university’s number of published journal articles and the subsequent citation statistics. […] The reader may notice that the publications counting method for some institutions in ESI changed this past year, and some universities and their affiliated institutions are now considered as single institutions where they were previously considered separate institutions. This led to an increase in the number of published journal articles. Moreover, journal articles are now indexed by publication year instead of database year. These two changes will affect our ranking results. Indicators The 2014 performance measures are composed of eight indicators. These indicators together represent three different criteria of scientific paper performance: research productivity, research impact, and research excellence. Table 1 lists the indicators and shows the respective weightings for each indicator. Table 1 The Criteria and Indicators, and Their Respective Weightings, Used for the Overall PerformanceBased Ranking Criteria 2014 Overall Performance Indicators Weighting Research productivity Number of articles in the last 11 years* (2003-2013) 10% 25% Number of articles in the current year (2013) 15% Research impact Number of citations in the last 11 years* (2003-2013) 15% 35% Number of citations in the last 2 years (2012-2013) 10% Average number of citations in the last 11 years* (2003-2013) 10% Research excellence h-index of the last 2 years (2012-2013) 10% 45% Number of Highly Cited Papers* (2003-2013) 15% Number of articles in the current year in high-impact journals (2012-2013) 15% *Note: The timeframe of the three long-term indicators is consistent with that in ESI, providing cumulative data for the last 11 years. 2 Indicator Definition Research Productivity: The number of articles published in peer-reviewed academic journals is frequently used to indicate the productivity of a research institution. To objectively represent a university’s current and on-going research productivity, this ranking system employs two indicators: the number of articles in the last 11 years (20032013), and the number of articles in the current year (2013). “Number of articles in the last 11 years” draws data from ESI, which includes 2003-2013 statistics articles published in journals indexed by SCI and SSCI. “Number of articles in the current year” relies on the 2013 data obtained from SCI and SSCI, which were extracted in April, 2014. We used to extract data in every January, but after a yearly observation, we discovered that papers published in 2012 would continue to be indexed by the databases into early 2013. Accordingly, we decided to postpone the data extraction time to April so the data would be more complete. Research Impact: The number of citations of a particular academic article within a specific time frame is a commonly accepted indicator for that article’s impact. This ranking system considers both the long-term and shortterm impact of a particular research and seeks to provide a fairer representation of a university’s research impact regardless of its size or faculty number. Thus, this ranking system measures research impact by the number of citations in the last 11 years, the number of citations in the last 2 years, and the average number of citations in the last 11 years. “Number of citations in the last 11 years” draws 2003-2013 citation statistics from ESI. “Number of citations in the last 2 years” draws 2012-2013 citation statistics from SCI and SSCI in WOS, which include citation statistics updated to the dates of retrieval. “Average number of citations in the last 11 years” is the number of citations in the last 11 years divided by the number of articles in the last 11 years. Research Excellence: This ranking system assesses each university’s research excellence by the following indicators: the hindex of the last 2 years, the number of Highly Cited Papers from ESI, and the number of articles in the current year in high-impact journals (Hi-Impact journal articles). “h-index of the last 2 years” measures both the quantity and quality of a university’s research via the use of the 2012-2013 SCI and SSCI data. Employing Hirsch’s (2005) concept of h-index , a university has index h if h of its Np papers in the last two years have at least h citations each and the other (Np – h) papers have ≦h citations each. “Number of Highly Cited Papers” utilizes data from ESI, which includes statistics of “Highly Cited Papers” from 2003 to 2013. ESI defines Highly Cited Papers as SCI/SSCI-indexed papers that are cited most (in the top 1% of the total papers indexed in the same year) within the last 11 years. “Number of articles in the current year in high-impact journals” employs data from JCR, which supplies the impact factor of each journal in its subject field. The impact factor of a journal is the number of citations of the papers published in that particular journal within the previous two years divided by the number of that journal’s papers within the previous two years. A journal with a higher impact factor means that journal has articles more frequently cited by other journals, thus suggesting its higher scholarly value. This ranking system defines high-impact journals as those whose impact factors are ranked in the top 5% of the total journals within a specific subject category. With high-impact journal lists derived from JCR, this ranking system is able to count the numbers of each university’s articles published in high-impact journals by subject.” 1 A National Taiwan University não solicita informação às Universidades. 1 http://nturanking.lis.ntu.edu.tw/BackgroundMethodology/Methodology-enus.aspx acedido 10/10/2014 3 II.
