An Observation of Research Complexity in Top Universities Based on Research Publications
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates research specialisation of top ranked universities around the world. The revealed comparative advantage in different research fields are determined according to the number of research articles published. Subsequently, measures of research ubiquity and diversity, and research complexity index of each university, are obtained and discussed. The study is conducted on top-ranked universities according to Shanghai Jiao Tong Academic Ranking of World Universities, with bibliographical details extracted Microsoft Academic Graph data set and research fields of journals labelled with SCImago Journal Classification. Diversity-ubiquity distributions, relevance of RCI and university ranks, and geographical RCI distributions are examined in this paper.

متن کاملBibliometric statistical properties of the 100 largest European universities: prevalent scaling rules in the science system
For the 100 largest European universities we studied the statistical properties of bibliometric indicators related to research performance, field citation density and journal impact. We find a size-dependent cumulative advantage for the impact of universities in terms of total number of citations. In previous work a similar scaling rule was found at the level of research groups. Therefore we co...
