MEASURING FUNDED RESEARCH PERFORMANCE FOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH IN THE DANUBE BASIN

摘要

Evaluation of funded research, by measuring the outcomes of the grants publications, journals, and citations is not always done comparatively and publicised. Bibliometric indicators were employed and applied to the 2009-2014 publications authored by academicians funded by European research grants that are indexed in the Web of Science. Citation based approaches, such as the h-index or the impact factor, have been widely used to evaluate researchers or journals. In this study we use the aforementioned H-index to evaluate the funded research grants and to provide a ranking in terms of the most successful ones. The ranking results can be used by evaluators in determining how successful an applicant has potential to be, but also by researchers to choose their publication outlets, or to pursue future collaborations.
