Research universities on the ResearchGate social networking site: An examination of institutional differences,research activity level,and social networks formed

As one of the largest active academic social networking sites, ResearchGate (RG) has been utilized by scholars to share publications, seek collaborators, communicate work in progress, and build scholarly reputation. This study collects data from RG users from 61 U.S. research universities at different research activity levels, as categorized by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, to examine the impact of institutional differences on RG reputational metrics. The results confirm that RG is a research-oriented academic social networking site that closely and realistically mirrors the research activity level of institutions. With an increase in the research activity level of a university, its affiliated RG users tend to have higher RG scores, more publications and citations, and more profile views and followers, while the average number of reads of their publications and followees tend to be lower and fluctuant. In addition, RG users primarily follow others from institutions of a higher research activity level, forming virtual social networks centered around esteemed institutions. The study suggests academic social networks can serve as indicators in evaluation of research activities among research institutions, and such sites can be helpful and credible for acquiring resources, keeping informed about research, and promoting academic influence.     

Technological research in the EU is less efficient than the world average. EU research policy risks Europeans’ future

We have studied the efficiency of research in the EU by a percentile-based citation approach that analyzes the distribution of country papers among the world papers. Going up in the citation scale, the frequency of papers from efficient countries increases while the frequency from inefficient countries decreases. In the percentile-based approach, this trend, which is uniform at any citation level, is measured by the e_p index that equals the P_{top 1%}/P_{top 10%} ratio. By using the e_p index we demonstrate that EU research on fast-evolving technological topics is less efficient than the world average and that the EU is far from being able to compete with the most advanced countries. The e_p index also shows that the USA is well ahead of the EU in both fast- and slow-evolving technologies, which suggests that the advantage of the USA over the EU in innovation is due to low research efficiency in the EU. In accord with some previous studies, our results show that the European Commission’s ongoing claims about the excellence of EU research are based on a wrong diagnosis. The EU must focus its research policy on the improvement of its inefficient research. Otherwise, the future of Europeans is at risk.

基于教育评估的顶层设计对高校图书馆的影响机理分析

基于教育评估的顶层设计,通过评估方案的制定和实施,规范、调控全国各高校以资源配置为基础的全部教学管理工作,从而导致长期处于资源配置相对劣势的图书馆也从中获取增量资源与效应,取得超常发展。随着教育评估方案的发展完善,这一影响机理将日趋常态化;随着高校资源配置水平的逐步提升,其编制的资源配置计划对图书馆的影响终将与基于教育评估的顶层设计对图书馆的影响趋同。     

用户感知视角下的商务网站信息生态化程度测评研究——以淘宝网和京东商城为例

[目的/意义]构建商务网站信息生态化程度测评指标体系,对淘宝网与京东商城的信息生态化程度进行实证测评。[方法/过程]基于用户感知理论,根据网络信息生态化程度测评指标设计调查问卷,对淘宝网和京东商城用户进行问卷调查。运用SPSS 19.0对调查问卷进行统计分析,通过信度分析、效度分析、回归分析验证问卷的可信度、有效性和各级指标对总目标的影响程度,得出被测对象在各级指标上的测评值。[结果/结论]用户对商务网站信息生态化程度满意度较低;从总体上看,京东商城的信息生态化程度高于淘宝网;我国电子商务网站的信息生态化建设应得到重视,网站信息质量和可持续发展潜力的提升是其信息生态化建设的重点。

基于RBV的企业信息化绩效评估层次模型

以基于资源的企业理论(RBV)为基础,将企业IT资源分为IT基础设施资源、IT人力资源和互补性组织资源三类。指出IT资源对企业绩效影响的过程性,提出基于RBV的信息化绩效评估层次模型,并以实际企业为例,分析每一层次的评估范围和评估指标,帮助企业对信息技术商业价值进行有效的评估。     

学术期刊评价中不同指标之间互补研究

[目的/意义]讨论科技评价中隐含的指标之间的互补问题,即一个指标不增加或增加很少,通过其他指标增加较多来进行弥补问题,并将互补分为等额互补、超额互补、欠额互补三类,进而分析指标之间互补对不同评价方法的影响。[方法/过程]设计一种检验和判定方法,针对某种非线性评价方法,维持一个指标不变,计算增加其他不同属性指标均值带来评价值的变化大小,并与线性加权法评价值变化大小进行比较。[结果/结论]研究发现,多属性评价方法指标之间的互补是个复杂问题,受评价方法、指标数据、权重设置、补偿值大小等多种因素的影响;基于比值的多属性评价方法更容易出现欠额互补;由于同类评价指标之间的相关性,讨论指标间互补应在不同属性指标间进行;指标互补问题对于多属性评价方法选取具有深远影响,本质上变相改变指标权重,可以作为评价结果检验和管理控制的一种方法。
