Introducing recalibrated academic performance indicators in the evaluation of individuals' research performance: A case study from Eastern Europe

In Hungary, the highest and most prestigious scientific qualification is considered to be the Doctor of Science (DSc) title being awarded by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The academic performance indicators of the DSc title are of high importance in the evaluation of individuals' research performance not only when a researcher applies for obtaining a DSc title, but also during promotions and appointments at universities, and in the case of the evaluation of applications for scientific titles and degrees, and the assessment of applications for funding. In the Section of Earth Sciences encompassing nine related disciplines, rather than carrying out a straightforward bibliometric analysis, the performance indicators were designed as a result of a consensual agreement between leading academicians, each of whom represented a particular discipline. Therefore, the minimum values of the indicators, required to be fulfilled if one is applying for a DSc title, do not adequately reflect the actual discipline-specific performance of researchers. This problem may generate tension between researchers during the evaluation process. The main goal of this paper is to recalibrate the minimum values of four major performance indicators by taking the actual discipline-specific distance ratios into account. In addition, each minimum value will be defined by employing integer and fractional counting methods as well. The research outcome of this study can provide impetus for the Section of Earth Sciences to optimize the minimum values of the DSc title performance indicators by taking the specifics of each discipline into account. Because academic performance indicators are also employed in other Eastern European countries in the evaluation of individuals' research performance, the methods used in that paper can be placed into a wider geographical context.

在个人研究绩效评估中引入重新校准的学术绩效指标:来自东欧的案例研究

在匈牙利,最高和最负盛名的科学资格被认为是匈牙利科学院授予的科学博士 (DSc) 称号。不仅在研究人员申请获得DSc头衔时,而且在大学晋升和任命期间,以及在申请评估的情况下,DSc头衔的学术绩效指标在个人研究绩效的评估中都非常重要科学职称和学位,以及对资金申请的评估。在包含九个相关学科的地球科学部分,不是进行直接的文献计量分析,而是在领先院士之间达成共识后设计了绩效指标,每个人都代表一个特定的学科。因此,如果一个人申请 DSc 头衔需要满足的指标的最小值并不能充分反映研究人员在特定学科的实际表现。这个问题可能会在评估过程中造成研究人员之间的紧张。本文的主要目标是通过考虑实际学科特定距离比率来重新校准四个主要绩效指标的最小值。此外,每个最小值也将通过使用整数和分数计数方法来定义。本研究的研究成果可以推动地球科学部结合各学科的具体情况,优化DSc职称绩效指标的最小值。
