ABSTRACT

This paper counts SCI-level journal publications over the period 1980–2016 to rank higher education institutions in South Korea. First, a league table shows that school competitiveness has changed a lot over time, which largely attributes to a flexible mobility of academic professions in recent decades. Second, counting research productivity, after adjusting for school size, shows significant changes in the university ranking. Third, our university ranking, which is based rigidly upon journal publications, differs from widely cited perception-based rankings, so that policy makers in higher education must be cautious in decision making on educational reforms.

摘要

这篇论文统计了 1980-2016 年期间 SCI 级期刊出版物，以对韩国高等教育机构进行排名。首先，排行榜显示学校竞争力随着时间的推移发生了很大变化，这在很大程度上归功于近几十年来学术专业的灵活流动。其次，计算研究生产力，在调整学校规模后，显示出大学排名的显着变化。第三，我们的大学排名严格基于期刊出版物，与广泛引用的基于感知的排名不同，因此高等教育决策者在教育改革决策时必须谨慎。
