The Evaluation Method of University Research Performance and Disciplinary Development Potential

Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] Under the background of "double first-class" university development, scientific research performance and disciplinary evaluation have been increasingly paid attention. More and more universities use the existing databases to find their advantageous subjects and disciplines that have development potential, and provide services in their efforts for the development of "double first-class" universities. [Method/Process] Based on the InCites/ESI databases, this paper proposes an evaluation method of university scientific research performance and disciplinary development potential. Firstly, the evaluation system is composed of scientific research influence, international cooperation ability and disciplinary output ability. Secondly, the scientific research outputs are analyzed from the aspects of the number of papers published, citation frequency, citation influence, international cooperation and ESI disciplines. Finally, a set of relatively comprehensive evaluation indicators is formed. In order to make better use of this method, Beijing university of technology (BJUT) is taken as an example for data presentation. [Results/Conclusions] This method can provide a scientific evaluation method for scientific research performance and disciplinary analysis of universities, and provide theoretical basis and data for the development strategy of universities.
