Abramo and D’Angelo (2014, 2016) have recently looked at the issue of measuring performance and productivity of research organizations and the role that size-independent citation indicators play in this. Recently, Savithri and Prathap (2015) compared the research performance of leading higher education institutions in India and China using an end-to-end bibliometric performance analysis procedu...

The purpose of the work presented here is to automate productivity measurement so that productivity information will be available on a daily basis, its quality and integrity will be improved and the cost of generating it will be reduced. To do this, the Technion APPC research group started exploring the use of automated data collection (ADC) to measure indirect indicators. This extended abstrac...

While the h-Index and the g-Index (as the major indices for quantifying the academic performance of researchers) take into consideration the citation count of publications, some other important indicators of research output (i.e. the number of authors per paper, lead author, year of publication) are omitted. Those indicators have to be considered in order to evaluate the productivity of researc...

In this paper, the operation smooth of the railway computer ticket system was evaluated. First, we design the evaluation index system, determine the subjective weights of the various technical indicators of the ticketing system with Fuzzy evaluation method, determine the index weight with the Entropy method, and analyze important factors affecting the system operation according to the health ev...

Crew scheduling is a very well known problem which has been historically associated with airlines and mass transit companies; recently also railway applications have come on the scene. This now happens especially in Europe, where deregulation and privatization issues are forcing a reorganization of the rail industry and better productivity and eecient services are strongly required by the marke...

In this paper we empirically try to estimate productivity and growth of the world's economies by selected indicators measuring sustainability, equity, and the state of democratic rights and civil liberties. We use models from the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) literature to compare productivity levels in a multiple output setting. This productivity level can then be interpreted as a new human ...

Railways were the most important infrastructure development in India from 1850 to 1947. They were inter-connected with all aspects of Indian society. In terms of the economy, railways played a major role in integrating markets and increasing trade.
