Measurement of Talent Team Structure Characteristics and Its Correlation with Discipline Development in Universities
Abstract
[Purpose/Significance] Researchers are the main force of discipline construction in universities. Analyzing and measuring the characteristics of talent team structure and their development is conducive to summarizing the laws of discipline talent team in world-class universities, and analyzing its influence on the long-term development of disciplines, which can provide guidance for universities' discipline construction in China. [Method/Process] A structural characteristics analysis and measurement system of talent team was constructed based on papers published in different fields of research, and by using the methods of scientometrics, and social network analysis. There are 12 indicators in total, which include 4 aspects: internal structure, stability, correlation of research content and internal cooperation of talent team. Then, the correlation models between the characteristics of talent team structure and the productivity, influence of disciplines are constructed to analyze the influences of talent team structures on the development of disciplines in universities. The data of 10 world-class universities in computer science from 2001 to 2020 are used for empirical analysis. [Results/conclusions] The study shows that the correlation between the different characteristics of talent team structure and discipline productivity is not significant, but it has different influences on the overall influence of disciplines. Among them, the relevance of research content and the close degree of cooperation among the main members have obvious promotion effect on discipline influence. The stability of the main team members also has a certain degree of influence on the discipline performance. However, the internal structure and other characteristics, such as the proportion of top talent, are relatively weak in relation to discipline influence. Based on this, it is proposed that in the process of discipline development, universities should strengthen the stability of the main team members, the relevance of research contents and the closeness of cooperation, and form stable and closely linked core research teams, so as to continuously improve the level of discipline development.
