3 A Universidade do Porto no Performance ing of Scientific Papers for World Universities NTU ing Metodologia do NTU ing e participação da U.Porto The Performance ing of Scientific Papers for World Universities is released by National Taiwan University, and is also known as NTU ing. NTU ing provides overall ing, ings by six fields, and ings by 14 selected subjects. [ ] Sample Selection This ing system employs bibliometric methods to analyze and the scientific paper performances of the world s top 500 universities. The selection of the 500 universities for inclusion in this ing system was based on information obtained from the Essential Science Indicators (ESI). Of more than 4,000 research institutions listed in ESI, this ing 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 ing programs such as ARWU, THE, QS, and U.S. News. This resulted in 924 universities for this ing 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 ing 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. Some university systems have several campuses. A few campuses within a particular university system may have been commonly perceived as individual institutions. However, they are indexed in ESI only by the university system name. For example, the University of Connecticut system includes a main campus in Storrs and five regional campuses throughout the state. Furthermore, it also contains the Schools of Medicine and Dental Medicine at UConn Health in Farmington. These are all indexed under University of Connecticut in ESI. This ing system corrected this flaw by manually searching SCI/SSCI in order to identify the actual number of articles and citations of these articles produced by each individual campus. Likewise, this ing system employed the same manual searching procedures to ensure that the measurement of each university s Highly Cited Papers fairly represented the research performance of each individual campus. 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 ing results. Indicators The 2015 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. 3

4 Table 1 The Criteria and Indicators, and Their Respective Weightings, Used for the Overall Performance-Based ing Criteria 2015 Overall Performance Indicators Weighting Research productivity Research impact Number of articles in the last years* ( ) 10% Number of articles in the current year (2014) 15% Number of citations in the last years* ( ) 15% Number of citations in the last 2 years* ( ) 10% Average number of citations in the last years* ( ) 10% h-index of the last 2 years ( ) 10% Research Number of Highly Cited Papers* ( ) 15% 40% excellence Number of articles in the current year in high-impact journals 15% ( ) *Note: The timeframe of the three long-term indicators is consistent with that in ESI, providing cumulative data for the last years. 25% 35% 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 ing system employs two indicators: the number of articles in the last years ( ), and the number of articles in the current year (2014). Number of articles in the last years draws data from ESI, which includes statistics articles published in journals indexed by SCI and SSCI. Number of articles in the current year relies on the 2014 data obtained from SCI and SSCI, which were extracted in April, 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 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 ing 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 ing system measures research impact by the number of citations in the last years, the number of citations in the last 2 years, and the average number of citations in the last years. Number of citations in the last years draws citation statistics from ESI. Number of citations in the last 2 years draws 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 years is the number of citations in the last years divided by the number of articles in the last years. Research Excellence: This ing system assesses each university s research excellence by the following indicators: the h-index 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 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 2004 to 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 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 ing system defines high-impact journals as those whose impact factors are ed in the top 5% of the total journals within a specific subject category. With high-impact journal lists derived from JCR, this ing system is able to count the numbers of each university s articles published in high-impact journals by subject. 4

5 Reference ings Adjusted reference ing is presented to balance the overall ing, which favors universities with greater number of faculty members. Four indicators significantly affected by university size are normalized by each university s number of full-time faculty; these include the number of articles in the last years, number of articles in the current year, number of citations in the last years, and the number of citations in the last 2 years. This ing system employs faculty numbers obtained from the following sources (listed by priority in usage): numbers of full-time faculty obtained from university official websites, numbers of faculty registered with each higher education administration, and numbers of academic staff of each university obtained from university websites. Calculation Method The procedures for data processing are as follows: First, the project staff conducted authority control on the various forms of a university name and inspected all the SCI/SSCI bibliographic records in which the address field contained a form of the university name. An accurate number of the total articles from a university was obtained after removing duplicate records containing different forms of that university s name. Second, using SCI/SSCI this ing system obtained the total number of citations by adding the number of citations of each article from that university, from the article s inclusion in SCI/SSCI to the date of our retrieval. Based on the measurement procedures, this ing system calculated a university s score for each of the eight indicators. From 2013, the indicator h-index of the last 2 years has been further adjusted and differentiated utilizing number of papers and cited times for the field-based and subject-based ings, due to highly concentrated distribution of h-index. Then, all indicators are normalized using T-score to obtain finalized score. Finally, the ing system calculates the final score of each university using the indicator weightings presented in Table 1 and sorts the universities by their final scores. Universities with the same scores are sorted alphabetically. It should be noted that many universities obtained similar scores, and the slight differences in the final scores must be interpreted carefully. A university having a slightly higher score than another may not necessarily suggest its superiority in scientific research, as the two universities might be in very close proximity in the ing. 1 Notas adicionais: A National Taiwan University não solicita informação às Universidades.
