In this short communication, a new indicator - The Relative Rank Index - the RRI - is introduced for comparing the rankings in specific subject discipline of different countries with their rankings overall. To show how this works in practice, publication data from various disciplines for the top ten countries in the world have been collected from the SCOPUS database and their relative rankings are presented in this study. Similarly, one might use the RRI with data from institutions to show their relative rankings.

用于比较排名的新指标：相对排名指数 (RRI)

在这次简短的交流中，引入了一个新指标——相对排名指数——RRI——用于比较不同国家特定学科学科的排名与其整体排名。为了展示这在实践中是如何运作的，我们从 SCOPUS 数据库中收集了世界前十个国家的各个学科的出版数据，并在本研究中展示了它们的相对排名。同样，人们可能会使用 RRI 和来自机构的数据来显示它们的相对排名。
