The identification of one’s own research strengths is of crucial importance for research administration at universities. In this case study, two different approaches were applied to the University of Vienna. The first relies on funding and rankings information as well as on other esteem indicators. The second is based on a bibliometric analysis of the publication output. We used two alternative clusterings for publications for the bibliometric analysis: Web of Science subject categories and lists of researchers associated with esteem-indicators. Both, esteem-indicators and bibliometric analysis proved to be useful in identifying research strengths, lead to similar results and are meant to be used together to complement each other. We found that the greatest hindrance in the bibliometric approach lies in the inherent limitations of journals-assignment-based classification systems and the considerable time and efforts for more accurate researcher-based publication analyses. Further investigation on this subject, including new and alternative metrics, is needed and will be conducted in the future. However, the preliminary results already demonstrate the benefits of using esteem-factors together with bibliometric analyses for research strengths definition of universities.

尊重和文献计量指标确定的研究优势：维也纳大学的案例研究

确定自己的研究优势对于大学的研究管理至关重要。在本案例研究中，维也纳大学采用了两种不同的方法。第一个依赖于资金和排名信息以及其他尊重指标。第二个是基于对出版物输出的文献计量分析。我们对文献计量分析的出版物使用了两种替代聚类：Web of Science 主题类别和与尊重指标相关的研究人员列表。事实证明，尊重指标和文献计量分析都有助于确定研究优势，导致相似的结果，并且可以一起使用以相互补充。我们发现文献计量方法的最大障碍在于基于期刊分配的分类系统的固有局限性以及为更准确的基于研究人员的出版物分析而花费的大量时间和精力。需要对此主题进行进一步调查，包括新的和替代的指标，并将在未来进行。然而，初步结果已经证明了将尊重因素与文献计量分析一起用于大学研究实力定义的好处。
