“…According to Garfield (1979), research production is measured by using indices based on the number of times publications are cited in journals covered by the Science Citation Index (SCI), which is produced by the ISI. Wallmark and Sedig (1986) suggest that one advantage of citation is its objectivity, because no manipulation can be made, since the investigating person or group does not actually participate in the research assessment.…”

Doctoral graduate research performance (DRP) is recognized as one of the most critical indices for evaluation of the success of doctoral education. Doctoral graduates with high research performance directly reflect a higher ability in academic research and academic achievement. Consequently, identifying which factors influence DRP is potentially of great value. This topic is also challenging because of difficulties in identifying the impact factors on research performance and the feasibility of the relative data collection. This paper first examines the relationships between the indicators and DRP. After a review of previous literature, the focus is on the doctoral graduates’ individual factors, advisor factors and learning performance. Data is collected from graduated doctors from the Science Schools of University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). Contrary to expectations, our findings indicate that, based on the Chinese context, learning performance does not appear to be strongly associated with research performance. Individual factors (status of academic origin) do have significant effect on DRP. The advisor factors (including academic status, academic experience and allocation of energy) show a relatively strong association with DRP, in terms of both the number of publications and the impact factor of Science Citation Index (SCI) cited journals

“…While there are advantages and disadvantages of stated and revealed preference studies, both types are interrelated, and it should not be surprising that they correlate positively (Wallmark and Sedig, 1986;Franke, Edlund, and Oster, 1990;Baird and Oppenheim, 1994;and Johnson and Podsakoff, 1994). Stated preference as perception of high-quality research outlets may be the starting point in selecting the source journals for citation analysis (Sharplin and Mabry, 1985).…”

A revealed preference study of management journals’ direct influences

Our study develops and uses a new methodology for analyzing journal citations to recent publications to determine which management journals now have the greatest influence on the field of management. It analyzes the 23637 academic journal references cited in the 1275 articles published in 17 key management journals during 1993 and 1994, focusing on citations to references published up to the modal vintage of 4 years earlier. Most cited as a percentage of all these references was Strategic Management Journal (11%), followed by Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Applied Psychology, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Academy of Management Review, Administrative Sciences Quarterly, and Journal of Management—accounting in total for 51 percent of all citations. Strategic Management Journal, whose subfield of strategic management has become a major concern of management in general, has developed as the predominant academic journal influencing the field of management. Our measures of journal influence provide information which can aid management scholars, practitioners, department heads, and university libraries to decide on efficient choices of journals for research and for manuscript submissions, for evaluation, and for subscriptions. Just seven management and social science journals, led by Strategic Management Journal, contain more than half of the cited articles published recently. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Most of the NIH studies focused on aggregated comparison studies (large grants versus small, large schools versus small schools, domestic versus foreign, etc). Patent citation analysis has the potential to provide insight to the conversion of science to technology (Carpenter, 1981(Carpenter, , 1982(Carpenter, , 1983Collins, 1988;Narin, 1984Narin, , 1988aNarin, -c, 1991Van Vianen, 1990;Wallmark, 1986). Much of the federal government support of the development of patent citation analysis was by the NSF (e.g., Carpenter, 1980;Narin, 1987a), although there is little published evidence now of widespread federal use of this capability.…”

This article describes the practice of federal research impact assessment. Evaluation of research impact is described for three cases: research selection, where the work has not yet been performed; research review, where work and results are ongoing; and ex‐post research assessment, where research has been completed and results can be tracked. Retrospective methods (such as projects Hindsight and TRACES), qualitative methods (such as peer review), and quantitative methods (such as cost‐benefit analysis and bibliometrics) are described. While peer review in its broadest sense is the most widely used method in research selection, review, and ex‐post assessment, it has its deficiencies, and there is no single method which provides a complete impact evaluation. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
