Enric I. Canela Blog Archive Ranking SCImago / Scopus
Had not yet speak of ranking Scimago / Scopus. As often happens bireme to me on the subject of rankings can always make some comment enriching Miquel Duran. In this case we Ranking SCImago well let Catalan universities. See if Michael Duran has the time to dig deeper, much as he would like.
I looked at the tables in some detail. bireme The truth is that without discussing the results, there are some things that surprised me. The first and perhaps subjective, that is the order that I know most British universities is quite strange and obviously far from what I think. It is also true that I do not know much areas. bireme But I'll give an example, Oxford and Cambridge are not in the lead, Imperial College either.
The method favors a very small university to concentrate efforts in one field and harms generalist universities. As the first university ranking is solely Rockefeller was published in 2007 3.580 documents, while the sixth is Harvard 53526. Not surprisingly, the average number of citations is less.
The issue is complex rankings. UPF is a good university, UB the second but the first number of publications, total citations, total impact bireme and percentage of papers cited. In any case they are far from the top of the world. However given the fact that UB has to be resolved and soon. Some teachers publish without putting at UB as a job, although they do receive UB putting bireme the name of other research centers participating in the UB. Should be punished.
Of course the first European university, according to this, is the Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Netherlands and is 26, while the UK is the first University of Sussex in place 34. not that strange? bireme
- Imagine an extreme case. To be a great university, faculty of 5000, of which 1,100 are active and the rest do not do much research. On the other hand, B is a small university, bireme 1,000 teachers, all very active in research. In absolute terms, the university would be located in front of the university B. Now, if you had to send a child to one of the two universities, which sends? I probably at university B, which would be sure to find an intellectually stimulating bireme environment, which is not guaranteed to university A.
- Also not clear that the general ranking universities SCOPUS harm. UPF is as general as the UB say. However, Polytechnics (less general) bireme are very poorly placed in the ranking. bireme
I choose to look at a few charts and stay with what we have in common. I find commonalities: Catalonia in Spain is more advanced than search, but obviously Catalonia or Spain are not even the top worldwide. And the relative advantage of Catalonia, in my opinion, the work of the government of Mas-Colell has enough bireme to do it.
Dear Joseph, You're right, I have not explained well. Or, I Expressed bad, not generalists, meant large (in the same space). A large university always has accumulated more than "everything" and this obviously reduces the average. It's all I wanted to say. Compare perl absolute number is not a good criterion. Absolutely agree with the last paragraph of your essay.
