SciVal Spotlight Illuminates Research Strengths

摘要

If the reputation of one department at a university is the product of a complicated, sometimes unscientific calculation (except in the case of a well-publicized and highly regarded department such as the medical school at Johns Hopkins University or Harvard Business School), it can be difficult to find out where you stand.rnBut university administrators still try to cobble together a picture of their schools' efficacy and reach in research through that same combination of magazine rankings and number of publications when deciding where to increase or cut funding or where to hire faculty members.
